Insertion lines from this collection were assessed for inclusion in the Gene Disruption Project collection.
A set of mutant stocks derived by insertional mutagenesis using the P-element construct P{lacW}; most lines have a lethal or sterile phenotype. The P{lacW} construct carries a w+mC mini-white visible marker, Ecol\lacZ enhancer trap sequences, and bacterial sequences that allow plasmid rescue (FBrf0049800).
In embryo, expression in hindgut, midgut, pharynx and ectodermal stripes described as "basic" expression pattern; observed in many lines (FBrf0080145).
l(2)k15501
Location 2R:8108816-8108817 confirmed by FlyBase alignment of dbGSS accession AQ026088 to D. melanogaster arm Release_4 and heterochromatin Release_3.2b. Insertion orientation confirmed.
Insertion is separable from the unchk15501 lethal mutation.
Insertion maps ~24nt upstream of 5\' end of Sin3A mRNA.
Insertion maps approximately 24bp upstream of the 5\' end of the longest Sin3A mRNA (GenBank accession: AF024603) and approximately 0.8kb upstream of the 5\' end of Amp.
