The following information accompanied stocks donated by Bob Finkelstein, University of Pennsylvania, in November, 1999.
1. P{w+mC=oc-lacZ.7.6}QG1 insertion identifier
The P{oc-lacZ.7.6} construct and its transformation were described in Gao and Finkelstein, 1998, Development 125(21): 4185--4193 (FBrf0104919).
This third chromosome insertion was isolated from that study. The insertion chromosome is lethal, but whether the insertion is responsible is unknown.
2. P{w+mC=hsp70-otd.R}5A and P{w+mC=hsp70-otd.R}23C
The P{hsp70-otd.R} construct and its transformation were described in Royet and Finkelstein, 1995, Development 121(11): 3561--3572 (FBrf0084326). The 5A insertion is on the third chromosome and the 23C insertion is on the X chromosome. Both insertions are homozygous viable and fertile.
3. l(2)31EfG78 and l(2)31EfE1-19
These are two of the three l(2)31Ef alleles described in Clegg et al., 1993, Genetics 134(1): 221--230 (FBrf0058585). No allele names were given in the paper. These two alleles came from the EMS screen described in the paper.
4. P{w+mC=UAS-oc} construct and insertions
This construct, also known as P{UAS-otd}, and its transformation have not been published. The construct is a wild type ocelliless cDNA cloned into P{UAST}. A second and a third chromosome insertion were isolated. Both are homozygous viable and fertile.
