Left break appears to be just left of 21D1-21D2, right break appears to be just before 22B1-22B2, although the breaks may be in the middle of these two doublets.

Left limit of break 1 from polytene analysis (FBrf0006343) Right limit of break 1 from polytene analysis (FBrf0042627) Left limit of break 2 from polytene analysis (FBrf0006343) Right limit of break 2 from polytene analysis (FBrf0042627)

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

    No effect on In(1)wm4h position-effect variegation.

    NOT in combination with other aberrations

    Heterozygosity for Df(2L)S2 results in 0.3% X chromosome nondisjunction and 0.5% fourth chromosome nondisjunction in In(1)FM7/X ; svspa-pol females.

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

    Deficient embryos show a variably penetrant mutant midgut phenotype: incomplete constriction formation.

    Homozygous embryos have head defects and tracheae are disconnected.

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

    The Df(2L)S2 chromosome acts as a dominant moderate 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), but this is assumed to be a false positive result (the suppressor may not be within the bounds of the deficient region) because the 2L TAS array on the chromosome is reduced (as assayed by in situ hybridization) and it has previously been shown (FBrf0137248, FBrf0158986) that partial or complete deficiency of the 2L TAS array on the homologue suppresses silencing of brown-red variants of P{3'WP-2,wvar}2Lt.
