| p elements in the saltans group of drosophila: a new evaluation of their distribution and number of genomic insertion sites. | few are studies on p elements that have addressed the saltans group. these studies had shown that species from the cordata and elliptica subgroups were devoid of any discernible p homologous sequences, while species from the parasaltans, sturtevanti, and saltans subgroups all contain p element sequences. our analyses showed the presence of one to 15 p element insertion sites in species of the saltans group, including drosophila neocordata and drosophila emarginata (cordata and elliptica subgroup ... | 2004 | 15186822 |
