Ov. Okladnova et S. Kufittig, A NEW-TYPE OF LOCUS-SPECIFIC INSTABILITY INDEPENDENT FROM P-M HYBRID DYSGENESIS IN DROSOPHILA-MELANOGASTER, Genetika, 31(1), 1995, pp. 54-59
In analysis of instability at loci yellow and scute, induced by introd
uction of the active P-element transposase into the genome of line Y2n
s sc(me), alleles of these loci with transposase-independent instabili
ty were selected. The mutation rate of these alleles reached tens of p
ercent. Two types of transposase-independent instability were describe
d: (1) instability limited to the scute locus and (2) instability at b
oth yellow and scute loci.
