Subject: aristaless
Hello,
I am writing to correct a mistake in the file on the aristaless gene.
The supposed al05142 allele is not an allele of aristaless, and is
in fact a mutation in the dachsous gene. The P-element insert appears to
map a long way from al - close to ds. The lacZ expression pattern of
this line is superficially similar to al in the leg disc, but actually
very closely resembles that reported for ds.
