Subject: ds05142
Hi,
Just to add to Gerard's comments on this allele, we found the same and
also that ds05142 escapers or pharate adults have a strong ds phenotype;
in addition, ds05142 does not complement ds1 or ds55. The confusion on
naming this allele 'al' could be due to the fact that an allele of ds is
present in the Df(2L)al chromosomes, although this is not often
reported.
