I think Carlos (Flores) was a little premature (see Flores and Engels,
1995, A. Conf. Dros. Res. 36 Suppl.: 204A <up>FBrf0078419</up>)
spel1 is adjacent to 35Aa, but not the same. It has no phenotype when
deleted.
I wrote the following to him:
'Do I understand correctly the following:
1) spel1 is proximal of 35Aa
2) both 35Aa and spel1 are in the overlap of GW7 and b84h1
3) the fragment -245 -- -250 rescues 35Aa/35Aa and GW7/b84h1 but does not
include spel1 - therefore spel1- has no phenotype?'
He replied YES!
So the story is that he rescued the lethality of the overlapping deletions
TE35B-7 and b84h1 with a fragment that included 35Aa but not spel1. The
overlap includes 35Aa and spel1.
