Breakpoint(s) molecularly mapped

(Karch et al., 1985)

Proximal breakpoint 133.5-137 kb distal to the right breakpoint of In(3R)Cbxrv1 (Karch et al., 1985).

Comments on Cytology

Left limit of break 1 from non-inclusion of Ubx (FBrf0047928) Right limit of break 1 from inclusion of Abd-B (FBrf0047928) Limits of break 2 from polytene analysis (FBrf0080317)

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.
    Phenotypic Data
    In combination with other aberrations
    NOT in combination with other aberrations

    Does not cause unconditional lethality in hybrid females when heterozygous with D.simulans chromosome.

    (Coyne et al., 1998)

    No second site non-complementing phenotype with zipEbr and zipmhc-c6.1.

    (Halsell and Kiehart, 1998)

    Shows no phenotype when heterozygous with 14-3-3ε18A2, and no effect on phl::tor12D.hs.sev when heterozygous with wild type.

    (Dickson et al., 1996)

    Deficient embryos show an uninterpretable mutant midgut phenotype.

    (Bilder and Scott, 1995)

    Homozygous embryos show abnormal gastrulation and cease development early in embryogenesis.

    (Harbecke and Lengyel, 1995)

    Heterozygosity for this deletion suppresses the mutant ovarian phenotype of ovoD2.

    (Pauli et al., 1995)

    When in combination with salm mutations exhibit parasegments 10-13 resemble those in Abd-B- embryos and parasegments 14 and 15 resemble those from salm;Df(3R)P9 embryos.

    (Jurgens, 1988)

    Sterile in heterozygotes and male heterozygotes have rotated genitalia.

    (Karch et al., 1985)

    is associated with slight reductions in Ubx and abd-A activity.

    The Df(3R)C4 chromosome acts as a dominant weak suppressor of telomeric silencing (assayed using the effect of the chromosome on the eye colour phenotype of flies carrying "P{wvar}KR3-2", a stable "brown-red" variant of the P{3'WP-2,wvar}2Lt insertion), but this is a false positive result (the suppressor is not within the bounds of the deficient region) because the region of the deficiency is covered by one or more nonsuppressing deficiencies.
