Structure of chromosomal rearrangements induced by the FB transposable element in Drosophila

M Collins et al. Nature. 1984 Mar.

Abstract

Examination of 10 chromosomal rearrangements induced by foldback transposable elements in Drosophila demonstrates that sequences located between two closely linked elements are frequently deleted. Rearrangement and recombination events occurring within or adjacent to a foldback element are also observed. The type and frequency of rearrangement generated depend on element structure and the organization of flanking DNA.
