Subject: Help FlyBase - ea5022rx1
Dear Dr. Anderson,
I am a curator of FlyBase working at the Cambridge, England site with Prof.
M. Ashburner.
During curation I have come across ea5022rx1. In papers this is used as
a ea- mutation (in combination with ea4). And in:
FBrf0083893 == Erdelyi et al., 1995, Nature 377(6549): 524--527
is stated to fail to complement TmII mutations.
With this information I would like to make Df(3R)ea5022rx1. Currently
Df(3R)ea5022rx1 is a synonym under eaD10 (L&Zs symbol for 5022).
Could you please tell me if ea5022rx1 is broken in ea or completely
deletes ea?
How is this mutation related to ea5022 (a point mutation) is it
a revertant?
I have traced a lot of this information via papers from R. Chasan and
references to her PhD thesis, but unfortunately I only have a snail mail
address for her. If you would like to pass this query on to her then
please do so.
Many thanks,
Eleanor Whitfield

Dear Dr. Whitfield,
ea5022RX1 is an X-ray induced revertant of ea5022 made by J. Szabad.
ea5022RX1 completely deletes easter; it also appears to delete all the DNA
in the clone lambaTMR16 from the Eric Fyrberg walk through the region, but
we have not mapped its breakpoints.
I hope this is helpful.
Sincerely,
Kathryn Anderson
