Insertion lines from this collection were assessed for inclusion in the Gene Disruption Project collection.
The insertion site was reported as 439 bp upstream of the retn transcription start site and 32 bp downstream of the P{PZ}retn02535 insertion site.
For eye disc, described as "expressed late."
l(2)05096
The orientation of the insertion was not reported.
This insertion was listed in the BDGP database as a lethal or sterile line during the period 1994-1999, but was not verified as such prior to the summary publication (FBrf0111489). Reasons for excluding lines from the collection described in FBrf0111489 include presence of more than one P insertion on the mutant chromosome, separation of lethality (or sterility) from the location of the insertion, and loss of lethality (or sterility) from the stock.
