Flanking sequence recovered from either side of the P{lacW} insertion in stich1S143702 are located at least 28kb apart on the genomic sequence. This suggests that there may be 2 different P{lacW} elements that map 28kb apart in the "l(3)S143702" line, or the P{lacW}stich1S143702 insertion may be associated with a 28kb deletion. One set of flanking sequence indicates that the P{lacW} element is inserted approximately 90bp upstream of the 5' end of the GM05287 cDNA. The other set of flanking sequence maps within the first intron of jumu, suggesting that both GM05287 and jumu may be affected in the "l(3)S143702" line.
Early lethal.
Embryos exhibit loss of neurons in v and v' clusters and a change in morphology of the remaining neurons.
P{lacW} element can be reverted. Complements: jumu06142a. Complements: l(3)j8B6j8B6.
In reversion analysis, P{lacW}stich1S143702 does not excise to restore viability to the chromosome.
