The tandem duplication in Dsim\Dp(1;1)SR6 appears to contain a complete copy of Dsim\Trf2 on its distal side, since a hybridisation signal is seen on polytene chromosomes using a probe homologous to the noncoding region adjacent to the 5' end of Dsim\Trf2. At its proximal end, the duplication appears to end close to the 5' end of Dsim\org-1, as no hybridisation signal is seen on polytene chromosomes using a probe spanning the noncoding region adjacent to the 5' end and start of exon 1 of Dsim\org-1, while a hybridisation signal is seen using a probe that straddles Dsim\org-1 exon 1 and intron 1.
The sex-ratio "XSR6" chromosome of D.simulans contains two interacting elements, both of which are required for meiotic drive. One of the interacting regions has been tracked to the tandem duplication (Dsim\Dp(1;1)SR6) that the "XSR6" chromosome carries.
