Comments

Df(1)w-DZL-2 begins at or very near the right-hand FB segment of the wDZL transposon, removing sequences at or near the transposon insertion and extending to the right (away from w) for several hundred kilobases, leaving the w locus, the unique sequence and the left-hand FB segment of the wDZL transposon (Bingham and Zachar, 1985, Cell 40: 819-25). The left breakpoint of Df(1)w-DZL-14 lies between coordinates +8.0 and +10.6, with 0 the site of the copia insertion in wa (Levis, Bingham and Rubin, 1982, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 79: 564-68) removes sequence at/or near the wDZL TE insertion and extending proximally (Bingham and Zachar, 1982)

Affected Genes Inferred by Location (0)
    If no genes are listed here, it may be because the affected region is very large. The JBrowse insert above may show an error for the same reason, and other FlyBase tools such as CytoSearch may also fail for large regions. You can contact FlyBase for more help.
    In these cases, there will be no "Export to Hitlist" button to the left.

    Df(1)w-DZL-2 begins at, or very near, the right-hand FB segment of the wDZL transposon and removes sequences beginning at, or very near, the wDZL transposon insertion point and extending rightward (away from w) for several hundred kb, but leaves intact the w locus, most of the unique segment of the wDZL transposon, and the left hand FB segment of the wDZL transposon.
