Insertion lines from this collection were assessed for inclusion in the BDGP Gene Disruption Project collection.
A set of mutant stocks derived by insertional mutagenesis using the P-element construct P{hsneo}; most lines have a lethal or sterile phenotype. The P{hsneo} construct carries a neomycin-resistance gene with a heat-shock promoter (allowing chemical selection in flies using G418), and bacterial sequences that allow plasmid rescue. First dataset of this type.
P{hsneo}gammaub23CPI is reported to map to base 75 of the gammaub 5' UTR. The transcription initiation site was not specified so the insertion was annotated as mapping to a point within the 5' UTR.
