## Description

This track shows the locations of P transposable element insertions from P-Screen, the online database of the BDGP Gene Disruption Project.

Triangular arrows indicate the approximate positions in the reference sequence at which P elements have been inserted. The direction of the arrow corresponds to the orientation of the insertion: right-pointing arrows indicate forward orientation; left-pointing arrows show reverse orientation. The item name indicates the strain that has a P element disruption at that location. When a stock order number is available for the strain, a link is provided to the Bloomington stock center where the strain can be ordered. The project's strain library contains more than 7140 strains disrupting at least 5362 different genes, corresponding to 39% of the 13,666 currently annotated Drosophila genes.

## Methods
