Deletion covering both exons of SIFa ( 2R:24577800-24578100 ).
A 301bp deletion that removes both exons of SIFa maps to 2R:24577800-24578100 .
SIFa1 homozygotes show a significant decrease in sleep time, as compared to heterozygous and wild-type controls.
SIFa1/Df(2R)BSC780 transheterozygotes and SIFa1 homozygotes are mostly circadian rhythmic, although with a lower rhythmic strength, as compared to heterozygous and wild-type controls.
