      -24.6 to -107.8. From the molecular map of the wild-type noc-Adh region (McGill, Chia, Karp and Ashburner, 1988); coordinate 0 an EcoRI restriction site 1321 bp to the left of the start of transcription of the larval Adh transcript; '+' values to the right, '-' values to the left.

      Cytology
      Associated with a pair of reciprocal transpositions that are tentatively postulated to result from a pair of inversions, one included within the other. Based on reversion analysis Sco postulated to result from the juxtaposition of noc+ and sna+ at the 34A5/35D1 junction.

      Statement
      Reference
      antimorph of noc. Phenotype of Sco enhanced by deletion and suppressed by duplication of the noc gene (McGill, Chia, Karp and Ashburner, 1988). Sco/+ flies exhibit the loss of 10-15 bristles, scutellars, notopleurals, upper humerals and anterior postalars being most frequently affected; removes both trichogen and tormogen cell derivatives. Homozygotes nearly lethal; rare homozygous or hemizygous escapers have only eight or so bristles per fly; eyes small and very rough. Escapers short lived and sterile. RK1A. Numerous Sco revertants recovered; some are simple deficiencies (see Df(2L)Sco), whereas others are rearrangements with a deletion for Sco associated with the breakpoint in 35D1-2; revertants without apparent loss of material are given as noc alleles. Breakpoints of the rearrangements indicated are superimposed on the four breakpoints of the original Sco chromosome; the rearrangements have in common a break in 35D1-2 at the proximal end of the Sco rearrangement.
       
      Enhanced by nocTE35B; nocSco/nocTE35B flies have only about 16 dorsal head and thoracic bristles, compared to 25-27 bristles in nocSco/+ heterozygotes.
      Heterozygotes lack all scutellar bristles. One or both postscutellar bristles are sometimes present, but they are shorter and thinner than normal. The ocellar and humeral bristles are often absent. Heterozygotes have good viability and fertility.
