[A new method of cloning Drosophila melanogaster genes marked with a highly copies mobile genetic element].

A new method for cloning Drosophila melanogaster genes genetically localized and marked with the insert of a highly copied mobile element is described. A clue step of the method involves a genetic scheme that allows two series of D. melanogaster strains differing only in genomic location of the studied gene to be obtained. This method allowed the e(y)1 gene marked with an insert of the Stalker highly copied transposon to be cloned [1].
