Statement
Reference
Mutation in downstream control region.
gypsy element insertion into the bx regulatory region. The direction of transcription of the gypsy element is in the opposite direction to Ubx transcription.
Insertion of gypsy element, with its direction of transcription in the opposite orientation to the direction of Ubx transcription, into an intron of the Ubx transcription unit.
Insertion of a gypsy element. The gypsy element is transcribed in the same direction as Ubx.
gypsy insertion at -55kb in the same orientation as Ubx direction of transcription.
Caused by insertion

Polytene chromosomes normal.

hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
Does not affect the frequency of the trx bithorax-variegated phenotype in heterozygous combination with Df(3R)red-P52.
Haltere are transformed to wing and are 20-25% of wing size, dorsal tissue of T3 is incompletely transformed to metanotum, hypopleural plates are incompletely transformed to sternopleural plates, 9-10 hypopleural bristles are still present and the anterior third leg displays a strong transformation to anterior second leg, as seen by the bristle pattern. Phenotype can be suppressed by su(Hw) mutations.

Statement
Reference
The frequency of transformation of halteres into wings seen in Dsp11/Y flies is enhanced by Ubxbx-83Kb/+. The enhancement is dramatically reduced if the female parents are heterozygous rather than homozygous for Dsp11.
