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.
