A set of ~800 largely isogenic deficiency stocks created by FLP-induced recombination between FRT-carrying transgenic insertions; molecularly defined deletion endpoints correspond to initial location of the progenitor insertions. Designed to fill gaps in deletion coverage and breakpoint placement; also used to replace older available deficiencies that have not been molecularly mapped.
Lethal in combination with Df(2R)ED2457.
Inferred to overlap with: Df(2R)BSC434.
The breakpoints of Df(2R)BSC888 predicted from the Release 5 genomic coordinates of the progenitor PBac{WH}CG8389f03200 and P{XP}CG4398d00549 transposable element insertion sites are 2R:11898369 ;12319393 and the cytological breakpoints predicted from these coordinates are 52D13;53C4.
