We recently received a set of stocks from Rod Nagoshi that had been
generated in Dawson Mohler's lab. Among the stocks were two alleles of
fs(2)A12 that were described in Bakken, Developmental Biology 33: 100-122,
1973. The stocks are:
4571	fs(2)A126-396/SM1
4572	fs(2)A128-1062/SM1
I took a look at the ovaries of homozygotes and 6-396/8-1062 females
and they have a classic dumpless phenotype. My complementation tests
indicate that fs(2)A12 is the same as quail. fs(2)A128-1062 failed to
complement qua1 and Df(2L)TW137 (Df for quail and kelch), but
complemented Df(2L)M36F-S5 (Df for kelch) and Df(2L)GpdhA (Df for
chickadee).
Consequently, could you do your curatorial magic on the fs(2)A12
(FBgn0000942) and quail (FBgn0003187) entries? What do you want to name
the new alleles? qua6-396 and qua8-1062?
Best regards,
