The I factor is a LINE-like transposable element responsible for the I-R system of hybrid dysgenesis in Drosophila melanogaster. Inducer strains of this species contain several I factors whereas reactive strains do not. I factors are stable in inducer strains, but transpose at high frequency in the germ-line of females, known as SF females, produced by crossing reactive females and inducer males. Various abnormalities occur in SF females, most of which result from this high rate of transposition. We report here that recombination is increased in the germ-line of these females. This is a new characteristic of the I-R system of hybrid dysgenesis that might also be associated with transposition of the I factor.
