Heterozygosity for Df(3R)ME15 results in 0.6% X chromosome nondisjunction and 0.0% fourth chromosome nondisjunction in In(1)FM7/X ; svspa-pol females.
A.T.C. Carpenter.
The Df(3R)ME15 chromosome may 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), but the eye colour phenotype in the presence of Df(3R)ME15 overlaps the eye colour phenotype in a wild-type background so it cannot be unequivocally demonstrated that the deficiency chromosome uncovers a suppressor of telomeric silencing.
kkv has been found to fail to complement Df(3R)3-4 and to complement Df(3R)ME15, placing it in 82F5-82F11, contradicting earlier work that placed kkv between 83C1 and 84B2 (FBrf0041709).
