Terminal deficiency associated position effect variegation (TDA-PEV) of the y+ gene in Dp(1;f)γ878 is suppressed by Dp(1;f)γ158 ("trans-suppression").
Dp(1;f)γ878/Dp(1;f)γ158 heterozygotes exhibit a dramatic increase in y+ expression, relative to Dp(1;f)γ878 - nearly complete suppression of terminal deficiency induced PEV. Increased y+ expression is visible in the abdominal cuticle, wings and thoracic and triple row bristles.
y PEV phenotype, partially suppressible by extra Y chromosome.
Terminal deficiency breakpoint is 55kb from y+ locus.
Monosome transmission behaviour from both male and female parents is stable demonstrating normal transmission and normal centromere function.
Terminal euchromatic deletion at position -77 of the Dp(1;f)1187 derivative Dp1187-8-23, where position 0 is the In(1)sc8 inversion breakpoint.
"Terminal" deletion.
