Subject: Df(3L)BSC1 and Df(3L)BSC2
Personal communication from Kevin Cook, Bloomington Drosophila Stock
Center, 2/22/99.
The following describes two new deletions that were generated here at the
Bloomington Stock Center.
Males from the stock
P2106 y* w*; P{w+mC=lacW}Phaj3D4/TM6B, AntpHu Tb1
were given 4000 rads from a cesium source, mated to females from the stock
3607 w1118; TM3, Sb1/CxD
and white eyed progeny were recovered as potential chromosomal deletions.
Two deletions, Df(3L)BSC1 and Df(3L)BSC2, were recovered. They have been
incorporated into the Bloomington collection as stocks
5086 w1118; Df(3L)BSC1/TM3, Sb1
5087 w1118; Df(3L)BSC2/TM3, Sb1
The deletions show the following complementation patterns:

In polytene chromosome squashes, the distal breakpoints were easily
determined, but proximal breakpoints are in a region of poor banding. The
following are my best estimations of breakpoint cytology:
Df(3L)BSC1 076D02- 03:076D05-08
Df(3L)BSC2 076C;076F02-03
