Subject: Df(3R)by62 is a transposition segregant
Background: There has been confusion over the cytology of Df(3R)by62 due to an error in a table in the initial publication of this aberration (FBrf0069831), which described the aberration as including a translocation.
Information communicated:
The description of Df(3R)by62 as a deficient translocation in FBrf0051508 was an error propagated from a typographical error in FBrf0069831. The original cytological description has been retrieved from the laboratory notebook of Ken Kemphues where the deficiency is clearly described as a transposition segregant.
