Stocks of most of the deletions described in Parks et al. (2004). "Systematic generation of high-resolution deletion coverage of the Drosophila melanogaster genome."  Nature Genetics 36: 288-292 ( http://flybase.org/reports/FBrf0175003.html) were transferred from Exelixis, Inc. to the Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center for public distribution. Some deletions from this publication, however, do not exist in stock. They were either lost prior to transfer, the stocks did not carry the described deletion or the stocks were discarded due to other problems. Some chromosomes identified as deletions by PCR tests may have carried other FLP-induced, non-deletion rearrangements, but the nature of these "false positives" is not known. The scientists at Exelixis, Inc. did not have time to characterize the deletion strains fully before releasing them to the public, so we undertook quality control complementation tests in Bloomington to cull the stocks that did not carry the described deletion.
The following list gives deletions that no longer exist. The rationale for discarding a stock is noted. The phenotypes scored in complementation tests are abbreviated as l=lethality, fs=female sterility, ms=male sterility and v=visible phenotype.
