Df(3R)BSC42 was isolated as a P transposase-induced male recombination
event involving P{PZ}l(3)rL203rL203 and P{EP}EP3088. 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{PZ}l(3)rL203rL203/P{EP}EP3088 ca1 males. Polytene chromosome squashes
showed the breakpoints 98B1-2; 98B3-5. The proximal breakpoint of
Df(3R)BSC42 lies within the 98B1,2 doublet, leaving a portion of the
doublet intact in the deletion chromosome.
