Description

Injection of mitomycin C intra-abdominally into males of stable laboratory lines of Drosophila melanogaster causes the appearance of various mutational events at a number of loci of the X-chromosome in offspring. It is shown that they are the result of transpositions of mobile genetic elements. These events are single and are not the result of transposition bursts
