Df(2L)BSC52 was isolated as a P transposase-induced male recombination event involving P{GT1}CG15636BG01429 and P{PZ}l(2)0571405714. The deletion was isolated as a net1-cn1 recombinant chromosome from the cross net1 b1 cn1 sp1 females x net1 P{GT1}CG15636BG01429/P{PZ}l(2)0571405714 cn1; TMS,P{Delta2-3}99B/+ males. Polytene chromosome squashes showed the breakpoints 25A1-3;25B6-8. Df(2L)BSC52 failed to complement betaggt-IS-2554.
