Deletion of sequences from 0 to approximately 34kb (coordinates with respect to proximal end of a cloned l(2)gl region, close to the tip of 2L).
DNA coordinates, with respect to origin at tip of 2L: 34.7
Homozygous lethal. Mutant phenotype rescued by P{l(2)gl-15}.
weak allele: brain and discs are small and rudimentary and grow slowly in transplants. Lethal phase: larvae 81.4%, pupae 18.6%
Isolated from a natural population in Sinii Gay, Far East, USSR.
32kb deletion that deletes the entire l(2)gl gene and some adjacent proximal sequences.
