Insertion lines from this collection were assessed for inclusion in the Gene Disruption Project collection.
Enhancer trap expression is firstdetected at embryonic stage 10 in weak epidermal stripes. It is also foundin the CNS starting in stage 15 in a restricted set of neurons. Beginningin stage 14, EcollacZ is expressed in a single ventral thoracic muscle fiberin segment T3. Expression occurs also in embryonic gonads and anteriorsense organs.
l(2)03474
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.
