Subject: Revised cytology of Df(2L)DS* Revised cytology of DFs(2L)DS's. Base of 2L revised between Bridges low and high mag maps; in addition to not noting this, Lefevre made an error in assigning 40A1,2. I have checked my interpretation of 38-40 on Bridges high-mag map with Sorsa and we agree as to which band is which. All of these deficiencies \*were* induced on an isogenic b pr cn chromosome. Df(2L)DS5 (stock via David Nash) 38C7-10;39D3-E1 (right breakpoint agrees with Moore et al assuming map shift; left breakpoint does not) Df(2L)DS8 (stock via David Huen, presumably from Ashburner collection) 38E10-F3;39B3-C4 (both breakpoints agree with Moore et al assuming map shift) Df(2L)DS9 (stock via David Nash) 38C7-D2;39A1-3. Fusion band probably contains distal 38D1.2 plus proximal 39A1-3 (right breakpoint agrees with Moore et al assuming map shift; left breakpoint does not) The unattributed 'pr-' for DS5 comes from Lindsley and Zimm; given that the chromosome was already pr1 I think we can assume this was a stock-label error of someone lost in the mists of history.
