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.
Deficiency complementation analysis indicates that the female sterility of the chromosome is separable from the P{hsneo}neo9 insertion.
