Fails to complement Df(2R)BSC279.
Inferred to overlap with: Df(2R)BSC279.
Fails to complement Df(2R)BSC280.
Inferred to overlap with: Df(2R)BSC280.
The Df(2R)BSC29 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).
The miniwhite marker from P{lacW}l(2)k09501k09501 was deleted or disrupted.
