Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion, resulting in a deletion of nucleotides 204 to 952 of Int6 (coordinates relative to the first nucleotide of the start codon).
749 bp deletion reesulting from the imprecise excision of P{PZ}eIF3e10547 includes nucleotides 204 to 952 of eIF3e (coordinates relative to the first nucleotide of the start codon).
Homozygous larvae are small compared to their heterozygous siblings and die within 2-4 days after hatching while still at the first instar stage (their heterozygous siblings have progressed to the third instar stage by this time).
