It is proposed that the instabilities in gene action of some alleles at certain loci in the mouse (e.g., a, c, H-2 Mi, p, pe, T, Va, W), which do not seem to conform to traditional hypotheses of gene action, are better interpretable in the light of modern studies of transposable DNA elements (insertion sequences and transposons of prokaryotic organisms; controlling elements of maize; transposable controlling elements of Drosophila). Some phenotypic evidence in the mouse in support of this hypothesis is presented for the a, Mi, p, and W loci, which affect pigmentation.
有人提出，小鼠某些位点上的一些等位基因（如a、c、H-2 Mi、p、pe、T、Va、W）的基因作用不稳定性，似乎不符合传统的基因作用假说，根据现代对可转座DNA元件（原核生物的插入序列和转座子；玉米的控制元件；果蝇的转座控制元件）的研究，能更好地解释这些现象。本文针对影响色素沉着的a、Mi、p和W位点，给出了小鼠中的一些表型证据来支持这一假说。
