Data from old laboratory strains do not allow us to follow up the invasion of the different types of hobo elements.
According to these data, we proposed a hobo element ' two-stage ' invasion, which occurred as follows.
To confirm our hypothesis on a single geographical origin, we are currently analysing hobo sequences.
Our results demonstrate that the hobo elements per se may promote high rates of infertility (hybrid dysgenesis).
Such a geographical distribution could account for the dynamics of hobo elements.
The efficiency of hobo encoded transposase was comparable for both substrates.
Hobo elements are located on each of the chromosomal arms.
Before considering the entirety of the components of the hobo system, the respective information they provide can be discussed.
