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

    Lethal in combination with Df(2L)k07716-V.1. Df(2L)FCK-20/Df(2L)k07716-V.1 animals die at the pupal stage and no adult escapers are seen. The mutant pharate adults have rough eyes, scalloped wings and bristles are shorter than normal or missing. Wings discs of mutant third instar larvae show high levels of apoptosis compared to control discs. Mitotic neuroblasts from Df(2L)FCK-20/Df(2L)k07716-V.1 larval brains show a high frequency of telomere fusions and chromosome breaks. Single telomeric associations (in which a single telomere fuses with either its sister telomere or a single non-sister telomere) and double telomere associations are seen. Metaphases with rearranged chromosomes and hyperploid/polyploid cells are seen. Chromosome breaks involving either one or both sister chromatids are seen. Df(2L)FCK-20/Df(2L)k07716-V.1 mutant cells are at least one order of magnitude more sensitive than wild-type cells to the induction of chromosome breaks by irradiation.

    NOT in combination with other aberrations

    In hybrids with Dsim, Df(2L)FCK-20/Dsim[+] is lethal in males.

    Df(2L)FCK-20/+ third instar larvae show an increased number of ddaE dendritic ends compared to wild-type larvae. Df(2L)FCK-20/+ larvae also show an increased number of dendritic ends in vpda neurons.

    The Df(2L)FCK-20 chromosome does not act as a dominant 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).

    Homozygotes die as embryos.
