Retrotransposition of R2 elements in somatic nuclei during the early development of Drosophila

Michael T Eickbush, Thomas H Eickbush Mobile DNA 2011, 2:11 (29 September 2011)

As evidence for the insertion of mobile DNA elements in somatic cells accumulates, somatic retrotransposition in the early development of Drosophila raises many questions as to the biological importance of such events.
