Dear Netters,
For the last five years I have been tracking a mutation from a P
element screen. And now it is apparent (at the level of Southern blots)
that the lesion is not associated with P element hybridizing sequences.
Has this occurred to anyone else?
I read of a case where HOBO transposed in a P element screen. Do other
transposons do this? Are there references? What are your hypotheses on
the origin of a 1.8Kb insert that does hybridize to P element sequences?
Any and all suggestions will be appreciated, especially if they come
with references I can use in my thesis! To prove to my committee that I
am not the only cursed individual in the fly world.
Sincerely,
Denise Signorelli
