Abstract
Detection of novel insertions and the ability to explore heterochromatin are two key goals in the study of mobile elements in Drosophila. The Southern blot analysis of individual flies can prove useful in both types of investigations, alone or in combination with genetic and cytological approaches. This chapter describes the protocol for carrying out such an analysis and provides some clues for the interpretation of the results.
