  1. Expression levels of copia LTR-CAT in males made hemizygous for the construct in a series of transformed strains (copia LTR-CAT inserted at different chromosomal locations in each strain-see Table 1) in wild-type vs. mof1genetic backgrounds. The results indicate a position independent repression of hemizygous copies of the copia LTR-CAT by the wild-type mof allele (*p < 0.01; **p < 0.001).
