Df(2R)BSC18 was isolated as a P transposase-induced male recombination event involving P{lacW}mamk02214 and P{EP}EP993. The deletion was isolated as a cn+-bw+ recombinant chromosome from the cross cn1 bw1 females X cn1 P{EP}EP993/P{lacW}mamk02214 bw1 sp1; TMS, Sb1 P{Delta2-3}99B/+ males. Polytene chromosome squashes showed the breakpoints 50D1;50D2-7. Df(2R)BSC18 failed to complement cg1.
