Subject: pk update
bits of prickle news for FlyBase:
Tp(2;3)pk-sple-24 has no molecular lesions within the pk-sple gene therefore
mutant phenotype implies a position effect.
'CyO-G': the chromosome represented by Tp(2;2)pk-sple26 is a nice second
chromosome balancer being marked with pkpk-sple-26, an easy to score
visible marker. Probably a better balancer than CyO because of its
increased cytological complexity.
The pk78a, pk78b, pk78d, pk78f, pk78g, pk78l
and pk78m chromosomes are lost.
pk78t = pk29 and is caused by T(2;3)pk78t.
