Abstract
Mutations WRSV-1 and WRSV-4 obtained by microinjection of RSV cDNA into early embryos of Drosophila melanogaster were shown to be caused by the insertion of mobile elements jockey and B104(roo), respectively partial reversion of WRSV-lr arose due to the deletion of a 5'-region of mobile element jockey and of the adjacent region of the genomic DNA. It is concluded that genetic instability induced by oncoviral DNAs is based on the ability of these DNAs to induce transpositions of various mobile elements in the recipient genome.
