A set of ~50 targeted deficiencies created by exploiting hybrid element insertion (HEI) and resolution; designed to fill gaps in deletion coverage.
76A7-76B1;76B4-76B5
Flies heterozygous for the deletion do not show a Minute bristle phenotype.
The Df(3L)BSC20 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).
Isolated as a recombination event involving P{PZ}l(3)0086400864 and P{lacW}l(3)L3809L3809. The mini-w marker in P{lacW}l(3)L3809L3809 has been disrupted or deleted.
