Comment:

A 7 bp deletion in the Mettl14 coding sequence leads to a frameshift after amino acid 98 and early translation termination after the addition of 10 novel amino acids.

      Detailed Description
      Statement
      Reference

      Mettl14SK1/Df(2L)BSC111 transheterozygous adults exhibit a "held-out" wing phenotype in nearly half of the population and exhibit severe locomotion defects, as shown by the significantly decreased climbing capacity (more pronounced in males than in females) in negative geotaxis assays, as compared to controls; females exhibit modest oogenesis defects, as shown by the small decrease and delay in the number and developmental stage of egg chambers, respectively, as compared to controls.

      The progeny from Mettl14SK1/Df(2L)BSC111 females and control males exhibits a significant increase in the female:male ratio as compared to the progeny from controls.
