Subject: Re: east alleles
Dear Ruth,
The two east alleles P-86 and hop-2 were generated in Prof. Veronica
Rodrigues' lab by excision of the P-element of the line eastPry+ETX3
described in VijayRaghavan et al. (1992). P-86 is a precise excision that
restores normal behavior while hop-2 is an imprecise excision that results
in lethality. I have checked all publications and believe that the 2 alleles
have not been referenced properly. I also don't think that different allele
names have been used. I hope this information is of some help to you.
Best Regards
Martin
