Subject: v(2)k05816 has a P insertion in CG3524
The flanking sequence of v(2)k05816 (Bloomington stock 10580) maps to
scaffold AE003581.2 position ~216497. According to the GenBank
annotation of this scaffold, this site is in the intron of the CG3524
gene. FlyBase currently lists no mutant alleles of CG3524; CG3524
and v(2)k05816 are listed as separate genes. While it is formally
possible that v(2)k05816 is a separate gene from CG3524, located in
the intron of v(2)k05816, it seems more likely that v(2)k05816 is an
allele of CG3524. A caveat to this interpretation is the possibility
of a double insert or a background mutation on the chromosome.
