Subject: P{Cdk7P140S}SL1 and P{snf+,dhd+}SL2
Background: FlyBase requested information from us on map location, viability and fertility of these insertions
Information communicated:
These two insertions are described in Larochelle et al., Genes & Development 12(3):370-381.
Symbol used by authors Pw+Dmcdk7<up>P140S
FlyBase symbol P{w+mC=Cdk7P140S}SL1
Map location chromosome 3
Phenotype Rescues Cdk7- at 18o but not at 27o. It is presumably homozygous viable on its own.
Symbol used by authors Pw+snf+,dhd+
FlyBase symbol P{w+mC=snf+,dhd+}SL2
Map location chromosome 1
Phenotype Probably viable on its own, but I'm not certain of that. We have it on a chromosome with Df(1)JB254 (deletes Cdk7, snf, and dhd), which is recessive lethal.
