Df(2R)BSC44 was isolated as a P transposase-induced male recombination event involving P{lacW}l(2)k04222bk04222b and P{EP}CG14478EP2283. The deletion was isolated as a cn+-bw+ recombinant chromosome from the cross cn1 bw1 females X cn1 P{EP}CG14478EP2283/P{lacW}l(2)k04222bk04222b bw1 sp1; TMS, Sb1 P{Delta2-3}99B/+ males. Polytene chromosome squashes showed the breakpoints 54B1-2;54B7-10. Df(2R)BSC44 failed to complement cnkE-2083, cnkk16314 and mblk07103.
