Missed gene
Comments: This is not to correct an error but rather to add mapping
information. The map position of the SNAP-25 gene is in the heterochromatic
region on the 3L side of the centromere. Df(3L)1-16* removes the gene and we
have several mutant alleles of SNAP-25 that fail to complement this
deficiency. A more proximal deficiency, Df(3L)8A-80 does not remove SNAP-25.
We have an in press manuscript describing the isolation of a SNAP-25 mutation
