Subject: Re: flex-bb
Michael,
Based on new experiments it appears most probable that flex is an
allele of bb.
As I mentioned before we also sequenced the insertion site of
P{FRT(whs)}9-2 and found that it is inserted at 18C1 and not 18E as
listed in flybase. We could send you the sequence if you would like to
put it into flybase.
Thanks for your help. Ruth
