0.39 kb deletion extending in both directions from the progenitor insertion site in the intron between Ten-a exons 1c and 1d.
Ten-a654 homozygotes and hemizygotes display eye roughness. Consistent features include ommatidial order defects, ommatidial fusions, eye sensory bristle loss, and occasional supernumerary sensory bristles.
FlyBase curator comment: the lethal phenotype described in FBrf0204395 for Ten-a654 has been removed from the allele report in FlyBase, as FBrf0218896 indicates that this phenotype is not due to an effect on Ten-a, but is due to a second-site mutation.
