Df(3R)BSC38 was isolated as a P transposase-induced male recombination
event involving P{EP}EP3681 and P{EP}EP3340EP3340. The deletion was
isolated as a st1-ca1 recombinant chromosome from the cross st1
Sbsbd-1 es ro1 ca1 females x CyO, H{PDelta2-3}HoP2.1/+; st1
P{EP}EP3681/P{EP}EP3340EP3340 ca1 males. Polytene chromosome squashes
showed the breakpoints 85F1-2;86C7-8 (i.e. breaks within both doublet bands
to form a fusion band). Df(3R)BSC38 failed to complement P{PZ}tws02414,
P{PZ}jumu06439 and hth5E04.
