Aberrations in the Mid-America Stock List. - Lindsley, D. (1997)
Personal communication from: Dan Lindsley, University of California, San Diego To: Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center Subject: Aberrations in the Mid-America Stock List Background: We asked Dan if he could identify any of the aberrations from the Mid-America stock list that weren't in FlyBase or provide any additional information on some that were in FlyBase. Information he provided that is relevant to FlyBase follows. Information communicated: 1. Dp(1;YL)sc[S1]3 "I found this Dp. It is an independent occurrence, but there's not much to recommend keeping it. As far as I knew it was long gone." 2. Dp(1;YL)y[+] T0 "I almost couldn't dredge up the identity of T0. It is the result of a recombinant between YS and the distal heterochromatin of In(1)sc[8]. It is from my thesis in Genetics 40 page 28." 3. Dp(1;YS)sc[V1] "Dp(1;YS)sc[V1] is an interesting chromosome. It was derived from an exchange between proximal YS and the proximal Xhet of the pericentric inversion, In(1LR)sc[V1] and therefore has y[+] and ac[+] on the other side of the centromere from YS." 4. Dp(1;YL)y[+]YL, also known as FR2 and y[+]YL. "The reason that Novitski called this a fragment is that it seems to be a derivative of only the centromere end of C(1;Y)1. The fact that it is bb[+] indicates that the exchange appending YL to In(1)EN involved the short arm of Y distal to bb[+], since In(1)EN carries bb at both ends." 5. YSX[.]P0 "Remarkably, this is another derivative from my thesis. It resulted from an exchange between YS and the distal heterochromatin of In(1)sc[8L]EN[R]. Genetics 40, page 28."
