Distribution and insertion numbers of transposable elements in species of the Drosophila saltans group
Variability in the molecular organization of the 5S RNA genes among strains of Drosophila melanogaster.
The organization of the 5S RNA cluster has been analyzed in four strains of Drosophila melanogaster by the Southern technique. In some of the strains the 5S RNA cluster appears to be interrupted by an unrelated sequence. In other strains a continuous cluster is present
Revising the selfish DNA hypothesis: new evidence on accumulation of transposable elements in heterochromatin.
The bulk of the eukaryotic genome is composed of families of repetitive sequences that are genetically silent
and exhibit various types of instability. Transposable elements (TEs) are particularly commmon in
heterochromatic regions of the genome – a location where TEs might do less damage to their host. Recent
advances suggest that the relationship between TEs and heterochromatin might not be quite so straightforward
Possible Correlation between Transposition of Copia-Like Nomadic Elements and Establishment In Vitro of Continuous Drosophila Cell Lines
