A transposon-based genetic marker for conspecific identity within the Bactrocera dorsalis species complex
Abstract Here we describe a molecular approach to assess conspecific identity that relies on the comparison of an evolved mutated transposable element sequence and its genomic insertion site in individuals from closely related species. This was explored with the IFP2 piggyBac transposon, originally...
