The bizarre structures of the Drosophila foldback (FB) transposable elements are discussed here, and arguments favouring a transposase-mediated mobility are presented. The complete 4,089-base pair nucleotide sequence of transposable element FB4 reveals the full pattern of periodicity within the inverted repeats and the nature of the loop-inverted repeat junctions, as well as the coding potential of the loop sequence.
