Progenitor genotype
Nature of the lesion	Statement Reference Small deletion 5' of N. (Reiter et al., 1996) 800bp deletion removing the 3' part of the gene immediately upstream of N and almost all of the sequences up to the N transcription start site. (Gorman and Girton, 1992) A complex event involving 2 deletions that result in a 880bp deletion at the distal end of N. (Ramos et al., 1989) Deletion of 0.8kb DNA from the 5' end of the N locus. (Welshons and Welshons, 1986) 0.8kb deletion between coordinates -27.3 and -26.0 (zero coordinate is defined as the centre of the 2.2kb EcoRI fragment that encompasses the N^76b8 inversion breakpoint). (Grimwade et al., 1985) 0.8 kb deletion in -28.4 to -27.1 Caused by a deficiency of 800 base pairs in the restriction fragment -- 26.2 to -- 25.0 (Grimwade, Muskavitch, Welshons, Yedvobnick and Artavanis-Tsakonas, 1985; this is 67 base pairs upstream from the start of transcription of Notch. Deletes the 3' end of the locus immediately to the left of N (Kidd, Kelley and Young, 1986).
Caused by aberration	Df(1)fa-swb (Welshons and Welshons, 1986)
Cytology	Deficiency for interband between 3C6 and 7, causing these bands to fuse (Keppy and Welshons, 1977).

Detailed Description
	Statement Reference Differentiation of primary pigment cells varies between ommatidia. (Reiter et al., 1996) Disrupted transverse rows of bristles on the first tarsal segments, few extra sex cob bristles and rough eyes. (Gorman and Girton, 1992) Interacts with Df(1)rst2 to suppress eye roughening. (Wolff and Ready, 1991) Homozygotes exhibit rough eyes. (Rabinow and Birchler, 1990) Pronounced eye phenotype. Does not interact with dx^ENU. (Xu and Artavanis-Tsakonas, 1990) Phenotype is similar to N^fa-g; flies have rough, glossy eyes. The eye phenotype is less mutant in homozygous females than hemizygous males. N^fa-swb/N^fa-g flies have rough eyes that are not glossy. (Welshons and Welshons, 1986) In males, eyes are rough with a variable tendency to be glossy; with N^fa-g and N^fa-g62, eyes are very rough, but mutant condition is not as extreme as that found in homozygous glossy-eyed mutants. In heterozygotes with N^fa-1, eyes are slightly rough, overlapping wild type; with spl, the eyes are wild type. The N^fa-swb allele, like N^fa-1, is not dosage compensated and the mutant condition is poorly expressed in females. N^fa-swb/N^nd-3 has slight deltas at junction of longitudinal veins with marginal veins; in heterozygotes of N^fa-swb, N^55e11 and N^264-40, the eyes are glossy and the Notch phenotype is enhanced, resulting in reduced viability and fertility; with the temperature-sensitive N^60g11, heterozygotes are less mutant, viable, and fertile. In double mutants, N^fa-swb N^fa-g, the males have N^fa-g-like eyes; and wing veins are thickened and δ like at tips; they resemble N^nd-3 males except that wings are seldom notched. The wing-venation effect is less extreme in homozygous females (Welshons and Keppy, 1975; Keppy and Welshons, 1977). Removal of the region of 3C2-5 from the vicinity of N^fa-swb, either by deletion or inversion results in suppression of N^fa-swb; also affected by spontaneously arising, cis-acting enhancer ^e(fa<up>swb)</up> and suppressor ^su(fa<up>swb)</up> mutations, both of which map to the 3C2-5 region. (Welshons and Welshons, 1986).

Enhanced by
Statement Reference N^fa-swb has eye phenotype, enhanceable by e(fa^swb)¹ (Welshons and Welshons, 1986)

Statement Reference N^fa-swb has phenotype, suppressible by In(1)78b (Welshons and Welshons, 1986) N^fa-swb has phenotype, suppressible by su(fa^swb)¹ (Welshons and Welshons, 1986)
Other
Statement Reference N^fa-swb, e(fa^swb)¹ has metathoracic tibia phenotype (Welshons and Welshons, 1986, Welshons and Welshons, 1986) N^fa-swb, e(fa^swb)¹ has microchaeta phenotype (Welshons and Welshons, 1986, Welshons and Welshons, 1986)
Additional Comments
Genetic Interactions
Statement Reference Synergistic interactions with dx alleles. (Gorman and Girton, 1992) The phenotype is enhanced by e(fa^swb)¹; e(fa^swb)¹ in cis with N^fa-swb in either the homozygous or hemizygous condition produces flies with darkly pigmented, very rough, slightly narrow eyes. In addition there is a proliferation of microchaetae over the thorax, abdomen and legs, and the tibiae of the rear legs are distinctly bowed. The phenotype is suppressed by su(fa^swb)¹ in cis with N^fa-swb in either the homozygous or hemizygous condition. The phenotype is also suppressed by In(1)78b. (Welshons and Welshons, 1986)

Complementation & Rescue Data
Rescued by	N^fa-swb is rescued by N^+tCos479 (Ramos et al., 1989)
Not rescued by	N^fa-swb is not rescued by N^mMGIIa (Ramos et al., 1989)
Comments	N^+tCos479 rescues the mutant phenotype but N^mMGIIa construct only partially rescues. (Ramos et al., 1989) N^fa-swb complements nd and N^nd-2.
