Deletion of approximately 6kb DNA, starting from the site of the P{wAR} insertion in P{wAR}PhKγP842 and extending into bif, removing 3' flanking and 3' transcribed nontranslated sequences, but leaving the open reading frame intact.
photoreceptor cell R2 & axon
photoreceptor cell R3 & axon
photoreceptor cell R4 & axon
photoreceptor cell R5 & axon
Many R2-R5 photoreceptor axons project abnormally through the lamina into the medulla layer in mutant larvae.
Homozygotes have wild-type eyes.
