The following information accompanied stocks donated to the Bloomington Stock Center by Ryan Green in Judith Lengyel's lab, UCLA (2/02).
Df(2L)drm-P1 and Df(2L)drm-P2 were recovered as P transposase-induced deletions involving P{lacW}Pdswk10101. In both deletions, the P element insertion is retained, but a chromosomal region flanking the proximal side of the insertion is deleted. The proximal breakpoint of Df(2L)drm-P2 lies within the for gene, so the inferred cytological breakpoints of the deletion are 23F3-4;24A1-2. The proximal breakpoint of Df(2R)drmP1 lies between drm and sob, so the inferred cytological breakpoints of the deletion are 23F3-4;24A1.
The distal ends of Df(2L)drm-P1 and Df(2L)drm-P2 overlap Df(2L)tim-02. The proximal end of Df(2L)drm-P2 overlaps Df(2L)ed1.
An F2 screen for EMS-induced lethal mutations that failed to complement Df(2L)drm-P2 produced the following mutations that lie outside Df(2L)drm-P1:
l(2)24Aa1-9
l(2)24Ab1-10
l(2)24Ac5-25
l(2)24Ad5-58
l(2)24Ae5-38
l(2)24Ae5-77
