Genetic mapping information
Comments

The 2L:16680054..16692000 release 6 coordinates of the left breakpoint are estimates based on figure 2 of FBrf0100594.

The 2L:18359026..18393441 release 6 coordinates of the right breakpoint are estimates based on FBrf0183166, which showed the breakpoint to map between the right end of Acp36DE and the right end of Fas3.

Breakpoint 1 was mapped to an EcoRI-HpaI restriction fragment. The position of the restriction fragment on the reference sequence was inferred by a FlyBase curator.

Affected Genes Inferred by Location (0)
    If no genes are listed here, it may be because the affected region is very large. The JBrowse insert above may show an error for the same reason, and other FlyBase tools such as CytoSearch may also fail for large regions. You can contact FlyBase for more help.
    In these cases, there will be no "Export to Hitlist" button to the left.
    Phenotypic Data
    In combination with other aberrations

    Df(2L)M36F-S6 is semi-lethal in combination with Df(2L)H20. Surviving males and females are fertile.

    Df(2L)RA5/Df(2L)H20 females have reduced fertility.

    Df(2L)r10/Df(2L)H20 results in almost complete lethality.

    Inferred to overlap with: Df(2L)TW137.

    Effect on variegation of y in In(1)y3P and Sb in T(2;3)SbV studied: inactivation of y occurs independently of inactivation of Sb.

    Enhancer of In(1)wm4h position-effect variegation.

    Df(2L)H20/Df(2L)TW119 lethal Df(2L)H20/Df(2L)M36F-S5 lethal Df(2L)H20/Df(2L)TW137 lethal Df(2L)H20/Df(2L)T317 lethal Df(2L)H20/Df(2L)TW201 lethal Df(2L)H20/Df(2L)203 lethal Df(2L)H20/Df(2L)330 lethal Df(2L)H20/Df(2L)VA18 lethal

    NOT in combination with other aberrations

    Lysates from 4 hour old prepupae heterozygous for Df(2L)H20 show no reduction in caspase activation compared to wild type.

    The Df(2L)H20 chromosome does not act as a dominant suppressor of telomeric silencing (assayed using the effect of the chromosome on the eye colour phenotype of flies carrying "P{wvar}KR3-2", a stable "brown-red" variant of the P{3'WP-2,wvar}2Lt insertion).

    Heterozygosity for Df(2L)H20 results in 2.8% X chromosome nondisjunction and 0.0% fourth chromosome nondisjunction in In(1)FM7/X ; svspa-pol females.

    Heterozygotes show no adult central brain defect.

    Df(2L)H20 in combination with a pair of introgressions from D.simulans spanning 30F1-31E7 to 35D7-36A14 Dsim\Int(2L)S and 21A1 to 22D1--23A2 Dsim\Int(2L)D produces sterile male flies. These flies are female sterile.

    Heterozygotes are flightless, but show normal muscle patterns, except for a reduced birefringence of the indirect flight muscles compared to those of wild type.

    Does not cause unconditional lethality in hybrid females when heterozygous with D.simulans chromosome.

    Intermediate second site non-complementing phenotype with zipEbr and zipmhc-c6.1 : malformed phenotype penetrance 25-75%.

    Shows no maternal enhancement of dpphr4.

    Dominantly causes tergite defects in less than 50% of run3 heterozygotes.

    Midgut development of mutant embryos is wild type.

    Homozygous embryos have a truncated head and the stomodeum is shifted anteriorly.

    Heterozygosity for this deletion has no effect on the mutant ovarian phenotype of ovoD2.

    Nonmotile germ cells.
