Df(2L)BSC50 was isolated as a P transposase-induced male recombination event involving P{EP}CG13130EP2238 and P{EPgy2}EY03684. The deletion was isolated as a dp+-cn+ recombinant chromosome from the cross dpov1 cn1 bw1 females x P{EP}CG13130EP2238 cn1/dpov1 P{P{EPgy2}EY03684; TMS, P{Delta2-3}99B/+ males. Polytene chromosome squashes showed the breakpoints 30F4-5;31B1-4. Df(2L)BSC50 failed to complement bib1.
