As a consequence of the deletion bands h38 and h40 collapse in most nuclei.

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.

    Strong hybridisation signal for XbaI repeats in 80C.

    (Moschetti et al., 1996)

    The recessive semilethality caused by Df(2R)Rsp16, and previously suggested to be due to the deletion of Rsp, may actually be at least partly due to the deletion of closely linked Bari1.
