Research paper

We studied the associated mutagenesis in Drosophila melanogaster strains carrying the family of unstable mutations at the ocelliless locus. The latter was obtained by crosses between strains with mobilized Stalker (M-cytotype) and pi 2 strain (P-cytotype). Then, the males with super-unstable oc-mutations were crossed with females with attached X chromosomes, supporting P-M hybrid dysgenesis. In addition to frequent mutation changes at the ocelliless locus, active mutagenesis at other loci was also observed. More than 10% of new X chromosomal mutations were found to be super-unstable. Detailed description of super-unstable mutations at the white, pseudoscute and some other loci is presented.
