A P{lacW} insertion lies within the intron that breaks the 5' UTR of the 'jim-2' transcript variant.
fertile
viable
17% of the eggs laid by homozygous females do not hatch, compared to 7% in wildtype.
No detectable phenotype.
Imprecise excisions of the P{lacW} insertion cause a mildly penetrant maternal effect phenotype characterised by an alteration in the polarity axes and embryo segmentation pattern. Males are almost completely sterile.
