From: Kathy Matthews <matthewk@XXXX> Personnal communication from: Dennis McKearin, University of Texas, Southwestern Medical Center To: Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center Subject: new stonewall alleles Dated: 4 August 1998 Information communicated: 'My lab has checked two P-lethals at 70D, #P1227 and P2087, for allelism to the female sterile stonewall gene. Both carry P-elements in stonewall gene sequences. Both are viable but female sterile over Df(3L)fzM21 which removes stonewall. Both are also viable but sterile over previously identified stonewall alleles in our collection. Therefore, these are new stonewall alleles, almost certainly caused by the P-element inserts, on chromosomes that are mutant for a separate, essential locus of unknown identity.' Note from K.M.: stock P1227 carries P{lacW}l(3)s9999[s9999] stock P2087 carries P{lacW}l(3)j6C3[j6C3]
