Phenotypic Data
In combination with other aberrations
NOT in combination with other aberrations	Df(2R)trix embryos from heterozygous mothers show segregation defects in anaphase and telophase as judged by the presence of chromatin bridges. These embryos show a higher level of "nuclear fallout", a process that removes nuclei with abnormal mitoses, than wild-type embryos. Fallout nuclei tend to be observed in pairs or clusters. There is no evidence of metaphase defects in these embryos and have a late telophase appearance. (O'Dor et al., 2006) Heterozygosity for Df(2R)trix results in 2.2% X chromosome nondisjunction and 1.0% fourth chromosome nondisjunction in In(1)FM7/X ; sv^spa-pol females. (Harris et al., 2003) Enhances the trx-G homeotic transformations of Df(3R)red1. Strongly enhances both the extra sex comb and abdominal segment transformation phenotypes of Pc⁴. (Milne et al., 1999) Does not cause unconditional lethality in hybrid females when heterozygous with D.simulans chromosome. (Coyne et al., 1998) No second site non-complementing phenotype with zip^Ebr and zip^mhc-c6.1. (Halsell and Kiehart, 1998) Shows no maternal enhancement of dpp^hr4. (Nicholls and Gelbart, 1998) Hemizygosity strongly suppresses the phl::tor^12D.hs.sev phenotype. (Dickson et al., 1996) Dominantly causes tergite defects in less than 50% of run³ heterozygotes. (Duffy et al., 1996) Suppressor of the dosage dependent (two or more copies of P{sev-svp1} or P{sev-svp2}) transformation of cone cells into R7 photoreceptors and at a lower frequency R7 cells into outer photoreceptors. (Begemann et al., 1995) Deficient embryos show a mutant midgut phenotype: central and posterior constrictions absent. (Bilder and Scott, 1995) Mutation does not affect the level of w expression in ph-p^lac+3 flies. (Fauvarque et al., 1995) Heterozygosity for this deletion has no effect on the mutant ovarian phenotype of ovo^D2. (Pauli et al., 1995) Homozygous trix larvae show abdominal setal-belt phenotype in thorax.

Other Comments
	The Df(2R)trix chromosome acts as a dominant weak suppressor of telomeric silencing (assayed using the effect of the chromosome on the eye colour phenotype of flies carrying "P{w^var}KR3-2", a stable "brown-red" variant of the P{3'WP-2,w^var}2Lt insertion), but this is a false positive result (the suppressor is not within the bounds of the deficient region) because the region of the deficiency is covered by one or more nonsuppressing deficiencies.
