Patterns of hobo elements and their effects in natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster in Japan
Article Abstract:
The dynamics of hobo elements of Drosophila melanogaster in Japan is studied with the goal of better understanding the invasion and evolution of transposons in natural populations. The findings suggest that the hobo element invaded Japanese populations in the mid-1950s, at about the same time as the P element invasion in Japan.

Maintenance of a large pericentric inversion generated by the hobo transposable element in a transgenic line of Drosophila melanogaster
Article Abstract:
The impact of the element in the global reorganization of the Drosophila melanogaster genome is explained in a transgenic line. A survey of these lines in which a large hobo pericentric inversion on chromosome 2 was maintained for more than 120 unselected generations is discussed.
