Spread of the autonomous transposable element hobo in the genome of Drosophila melanogaster

The transposable element hobo has been introduced into the previously empty Drosophila melanogaster strain Hikone so that its dynamics can be followed and it can be compared with the P element. Five transformed lines were followed over 58 generations. The results were highly dependent on the culture temperature, the spread of hobo element being more efficient at 25 degrees C. The multiplication of hobo sequences resulted in a change in the features of these lines in the hobo system of hybrid dysgenesis. The number of hobo elements remained low (two to seven copies) and the insertions always corresponded to complete sequences. Our findings suggest that, despite their genetic similarities, P and hobo elements differ in many aspects, such as mobility and regulation mechanisms.
