Arrangements and rearrangements of sequences flanking the two types of rDNA insertion in D. melanogaster

Nature volume 290, pages 749–754 (1981)Cite this article

Abstract

The two types of Drosophila melanogaster rDNA insertion occur at different sites in the 28S gene, separated by 51 nucleotide pairs. A short segment of rDNA is deleted at the site of the 5 kilobase type I insertion, whereas there is no such deletion of rDNA sequences which flank the type II insertion. Type I insertion elements in tandem arrays are flanked by very short segments of the 28S rRNA gene.
