A set of isogenic deficiency stocks created by FLP-induced recombination between FRT-carrying transgenic insertions; molecularly defined deletion endpoints correspond to initial location of the progenitor insertions. Initial core set of 209 isogenic deletions provides ~60% euchromatic genome coverage.
FLP-mediated recombination between the two progenitor insertions has resulted in a 33.6 kb deletion of the genomic sequence between them.
Homozygous lethal.
Df(3R)ED5579 in the heterozygous condition has no effect on within-individual variation quantified by fluctuating asymmetry (FA) of morphological traits. Among-individual variation quantified by coefficient of variation (CV) of bristle number and wing size in female is also not significantly affected.
