We studiedPelement-induced recombination in germline mitotic cells by examining the structure of the recombinant chromosomes. We found that most recombinants retain a mobilePelement at the site of the recombination, usually with either a deletion or a duplication immediately adjacent to thePend at which the crossover occurred. The sizes of these deletions and duplications ranged from a few base pairs to well over 100 kb. These structures fit the “hybrid element insertion” (HEI) model of male recombination in which the twoP-element copies on sister chromatids combine to form a “hybrid element” whose termini insert into a nearby position on the homologue. The data suggest thatP-induced recombination can be used as an efficient means of generating flanking deletions in the vicinity of existingPelements. These deletions are easily screened using distant flanking markers, and they can be chosen to extend in a given direction depending on which reciprocal recombinant type is selected. Furthermore, the retention of a mobilePelement allows one to extend the deletion or generate additional variability at the site by subsequent rounds of recombination.
