Subject: Sxl allele on Binsc, oc1 ptg1
Dated: 15 Feb 2005
The Binsc variant marked with oc1 and ptg1, Binscop (FBba0000392),
is viable when hemizygous and lethal when homozygous. Mel Green did a
complementation test with this chromosome and a Sxl allele (he did not
specify the allele) and found failure to complement, indicating that
Binscop carries a Sxl allele. This is almost certainly Sxlf1,
introduced via the In(1)dl-49 component of Binsc.
