Dear Dr Du,
I am currently entering data into FlyBase from your publication:
Steele, L., et al. (2009) Retinoblastoma family protein promotes normal R8-photoreceptor differentiation in the absence of rhinoceros by inhibiting dE2F1 activity. Dev. Biol. 335(1): 228--236
To assist in the completion of my  record and to be able to enter your data into the database, could you please take a few minutes to answer the following question?
Can you provide additional information for the following allele used in your paper:
Figure 3: Dronc mutant allele
Many thanks for your assistance,
Stephanie
