Dear Rachel:
All the revertants deleted the proximal junction of
In(3R)pugD. The two break points for In(3R)pugD are 86C3-4 and 95D1-6. The
deleted segments of the revertants are as followed:
rv7: 85E15-pugD-95C8.
rv1: 86A1-pugD-95B3.
rv17*: 86A8-pugD-94F3.
rv10: 86B6-pugD-94F4.
rv5: 86C3-4-pugD-95C8.
rv15**: 86C3-4-pugD-95C5.
rv2: 86C3-4-pugD-95B4.
rv6: 86C3-4-pugD-95A5.
rv4: 86C3-4-pugD-94F3.
\*: the corresponding region is translocated to the Y chromosome giving rise
to Dp(3;Y)pugD.
\**: also contains an In(3R)82E3-4;91C3-4.
Please feel free to contact me for further questions.
Sincerely, Yikang Rong

Dear Kent,
I have just started curating your Genetics paper
Rong and Golic, 1998, Genetics 150(4): 1551--1566.
Dominant defects .....
I notice that Figure 4 includes several cytologically defined
deficiency revertants but unfortunately I do not see text descriptions
of the break points. This means that the cytology is impossible for us
to capture for FlyBase. (We do not infer cytologies from diagrams, as
a policy, since it is too prone to differences of interpretation
between author and curator).
Would you be able to tell me with breakpoints for the following
chromosomes from Figure 4? The aberration records that result in
FlyBase will be so much more useful with the breakpoint information.
