Subject: Re: FlyBase query Hi! 1) UASDll \- the one I used does not come from any of the sources you mentioned. It's original name was y w hs-FLP122;UAS>CD2 y+>Dll, but it had the CD2 y+ cassette FLPed out. I think I got it from Richard Mann (Columbia), but I have not seen him ever publish this line. 2) UASdac21M5: the reference is Shen and Mardon, 1997 (same reference as for UASdac7c4). It is a UASdac on the 3rd while UASdac7c4 is on the 2nd chromosome. .. Hope this helps.
