Subject: Re: east alleles Dear Ruth, The two east alleles P-86 and hop-2 were generated in Prof. Veronica Rodrigues' lab by excision of the P-element of the line eastP[ry+ETX3] described in VijayRaghavan et al. (1992). P-86 is a precise excision that restores normal behavior while hop-2 is an imprecise excision that results in lethality. I have checked all publications and believe that the 2 alleles have not been referenced properly. I also don't think that different allele names have been used. I hope this information is of some help to you.
