DNA was extracted from wild-type Drosophila Melanogaster or from v; bw mutant and injected into the eggs of v; bw strain. Progeny of flies obtained from injected eggs was examined for several generations. Colored eyes appeared occasionally in the progeny of flies obtained after injection of either DNA. A recovery of colored strains was possible in progeny of flies obtained after injection of wild type DNA (4 out of 15), and not in progeny of 34 flies obtained after injection of v; bw DNA. Genetic alteration inducing color was localized in three of the recovered strains at Su (s) site and in one strain at v site.
