The following information accompanied a stock donated to the Bloomington Stock Center by Stefan Thor, Linköping University.
ind10A013 is an EMS-induced mutation isolated in a screen for altered expression of P{FMRFa-EGFP.Tv}, which is normally expressed in only six cells of the ventral nerve cord. It was mapped to the ind gene via whole-genome sequencing, deletion mapping and complementation tests with mutant alleles. The mutation introduces a stop codon in the region encoding the homeodomain; consequently, it is likely a strong loss-of-function allele.
