Other: Drosophila.transpositions

From the Evolution Directory (EvolDir) via Twitter.




Dear Evo-Devo community,

I am working with Drosophila melanogaster and I would like to have an
easy read-out for transposition events in the germline.

I was thinking about using a line that has a transposon inserted in
the gene white so that frequency of transposition is > or = to
frequency of red eyed flies in the next generation. For this purpose I
was planning to use the wDZL stock but it had lost the transposon.

Can anyone help me with a stock or an idea to solve the problem?!

Thank you very much in advance!

All the very best
