Imprecise excision of the P{EPgy2}CG9643EY07345 insertion, resulting in a deletion that removes the CG9643 and CG3165 genes, part of the CG9641 gene and part of the Chd1 gene (sequences encoding the C-terminal 958 amino acids are deleted).
Only 29% of the expected number of Chd12/Df(2L)Exel7014 adults are recovered. None of the embryos laid by Chd12/Df(2L)Exel7014 females mated to wild-type males hatch, with most of the embryos arresting development around or shortly after the first two nuclear divisions.
Embryos derived from Chd12/Df(2L)Exel7014 females are haploid and propagation of only the maternal genome is detected in the embryos.
Df(2L)Exel7014/Chd12 is rescued by Chd1WT.Tag:FLAG
Df(2L)Exel7014/Chd12 is rescued by Chd1CD.Tag:FLAG
Chd1WT.T:Zzzz\FLAG completely rescues and Chd1CD.T:Zzzz\FLAG partially rescues the zygotic lethal phenotype of Chd12/Df(2L)Exel7014. Chd1WT.T:Zzzz\FLAG completely rescues and Chd1CD.T:Zzzz\FLAG partially rescues the maternal effect lethality seen in embryos derived from Chd12/Df(2L)Exel7014 females mated to wild-type males.
