I don't necessarily want to use these as the final name for the genes. zaa is at 65.5 +/- 3.3 on the second chromosome based on recombination between cn and c. it is also uncovered by Df number 442 from the deficiency kit ( I don't have the name to hand). This places it in 49C-50C. zab is also on the second. I didn't calculate the position accurately by recombination, but it is around 96, based on recomb between c and px. It is uncovered by Df(2R)R1-8 and Df(2R)X58-7, but not X58-9. This places it in 58A1-B2. Hope this helps.
