Subject: correction To Whom It May Concern: There is a listing of Dmer\sly1 in FBal0150893 This is a misreading of the original stock list. The allele is sly (for spotless yellow). This is the original spotless reference: Title: GENETIC SYSTEM IN PARTHENOGENETIC STRAINS OF DROSOPHILA-MERCATORUM Author(s): CARSON HL Source: PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 70 (6): 1772-1774 1973 This reference says that yellow and spotless are tightly linked: Title: THE MOLECULAR THROUGH ECOLOGICAL GENETICS OF ABNORMAL ABDOMEN IN DROSOPHILA MERCATORUM. I. BASIC GENETICS Author(s): ALAN R. TEMPLETON, TERESA J. CREASE AND FAITH SHAH Source: Genetics 1985 111: 805-818 Thank you to Robert Eisman, for finding the Carson reference for me. Stacy Subject: new allele To Whom it May Concern: I am unsure if this is an allele, an aberration or something else. However, we have a stock that is parthenogenetic (a.k.a. impaternate). We call it im1. Could an FBal (or whatever is most appropriate) be created for Dana\im1? This stock is described in reference FBrf0179330. Thanks, Stacy Subject: database correction To Whom it May Concern: The FBal0053388 has a misspelling. It should be curled-Saito Thank you, Stacy Stacy Mazzalupo, PhD Assistant Staff Scientist Manager, Tucson Stock Center University of Arizona
