We have used P element deletion derivatives at defined locations in the Drosophila genome to construct a 100-kb extended P element more than twice the size of any previously available. We demonstrate that this prototypical extended P element is capable of transposition to new sites in the genome. The structural and functional integrity of a transposed extended P element was confirmed using molecular, genetic, and cytogenetic criteria. This is the first method shown to be capable of producing lar ...[more]
