Comments

FLP-mediated recombination between the two progenitor insertions has resulted in the deletion of the genomic sequence between them, producing a 32kb deletion which removes the 3' part of Optix and several neighbouring genes.

Homozygotes die as early larvae. Homozygous eyes (generated using the EGUF method) show mild defects.
