Nucleotide substitution: U5A.
The progenitor P{EP.y+.H}mir-278EPC610 insertion is still present on the chromosome.
mir-278mirvana-1 flies show no overgrowth in the eye but have a mild rough eye phenotype.
Some ommatidial cells in eye discs expressing mir-278mirvana-1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF appear larger than in wild-type discs.
mir-278mirvana-1 flies have a normal lifespan and are normal in size and weight.
mir-278mirvana-1 clones in they eye are not significantly smaller than wild-type clones.
mir-278mirvana-1/Scer\GAL4GMR.PF is a non-suppressor of abnormal size | adult stage phenotype of hidGMR.PG
mir-278mirvana-1/Df(2R)Exel7137 is a non-suppressor of abnormal size | adult stage phenotype of hidGMR.PG
mir-278mirvana-1/Scer\GAL4GMR.PF is a non-suppressor of abnormal size | adult stage phenotype of grimGMR.PC
mir-278mirvana-1/Df(2R)Exel7137 is a non-suppressor of abnormal size | adult stage phenotype of grimGMR.PC
mir-278mirvana-1/mir-278mirvana-1 is a non-enhancer of ommatidium phenotype of hidGMR.PG
mir-278mirvana-1/mir-278mirvana-1 is a non-enhancer of interommatidial bristle phenotype of hidGMR.PG
mir-278mirvana-1/Df(2R)Exel7137 is a non-enhancer of ommatidium phenotype of grimGMR.PC
mir-278mirvana-1/Df(2R)Exel7137 is a non-enhancer of interommatidial bristle phenotype of grimGMR.PC
mir-278mirvana-1/Df(2R)Exel7137 is a non-enhancer of ommatidium phenotype of hidGMR.PG
mir-278mirvana-1/Df(2R)Exel7137 is a non-enhancer of interommatidial bristle phenotype of hidGMR.PG
mir-278mirvana-1/mir-278mirvana-1 is a non-enhancer of ommatidium phenotype of grimGMR.PC
mir-278mirvana-1/mir-278mirvana-1 is a non-enhancer of interommatidial bristle phenotype of grimGMR.PC
The eye phenotype of flies expressing either grimGMR.PC or WGMR.PG is not enhanced by a mir-278mirvana-1 or a mir-278mirvana-1/Df(2R)Exel7137 background.
Selected as: a mutation that produces progeny with normal eye appearance.
This was the only mutant found in a screen of over 10,000 flies, indicating that the gene provides a small target for mutagenesis.
