These elements were initially discovered in the late 1960's because they cause a syndrome of genetic traits termed hybrid dysgenesis [1]. The molecular cloning and biochemical characterization of the P element transposition reaction have led to general insights regarding eukaryotic cut-and-paste-transposition. P elements have also facilitated many applications as genetic tools for molecular genetics in Drosophila.falseCell cycle regulation | Drosophila | Eukaryotic organisms | P element transposition | P transposable elements | Regulatory mechanismBook Chapter727-75226 May 20152chBook4
