Dear Dr. Georgiev,
I am writing about some alleles in a recent paper of yours:
Belenkaya et al., 1998
P element sequences can compensate for a deletion in the yellow regulatory
region in Drosophila melanogaster.
Mol Gen Genet 259: 79-87.
In your paper, on page 84, you discuss y+s2, a revertant of one of the
'y2s' alleles. We would like to make a formal link between this allele
and its parental allele, but since you do not specify which particular
'y2s' allele is its parent we cannot. Please could you tell us the
particular progenitor for each of y+s2, y+s3, y+s6, y+s7 and
y+s8?
With best wishes,
looking forward to hearing from you,
Rachel.

Dear Rachel,
The y+s2, y+s7 and y+s8 alleles were originated from
the y2s14 allele. The y+s3 and y+s6 alleles were originated
from the y2sA3.
With best wishes,
Pavel

Marvellous. We will record this information as a personal communication

Many thanks for your help,
