The rate of transposition and the specificity of transposable element insertions are not sufficient to cause gonadal dysgenesis in Drosophila melanogaster

Л. П. Захаренко, Olesia Ignatenko

Abstract

Data disputing the unique role of transposable elements (TEs) in the induction of intraspecific gonadal dysgenesis (GD) in Drosophila are discussed. Transposable elements (TEs) occupy the fifth part of the genome of Drosophila melanogaster.
