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{PZ}; most lines have a lethal or sterile phenotype. The P{PZ} construct carries a ry[+] visible marker, Ecol\lacZ enhancer trap sequences, and bacterial sequences that allow plasmid rescue.
Deficiency complementation analysis is consistent with the lethality of the line being associated with the insertion.
Location 2R:4418815-4418816 determined by FlyBase alignment of dbGSS accession AQ025620 to D. melanogaster arm Release_4 and heterochromatin Release_3.2b. Insertion orientation revised.
The P{PZ}l(2)0399603996 insertion maps 7bp upstream of the 5\' end of the CT8297 transcript of CG8258.
