Insertion lines from this collection were assessed for inclusion in the Gene Disruption Project collection; some lines were mapped by the GDP.
A set of transgenic insertion stocks derived by TE mobilization using the P-element construct P{wHy}. The P{wHy} construct carries two visible markers, the mini-white marker w+mC and the yellow marker y+t7.7, which flank a transposition-competent hobo element. It was designed as a deletion generation and detection system: exposure to the hobo transposase results local deletions and concomitant loss of one marker or the other.
Original stock may have included an insertion near cpo on chromosome 3, but the stock at BDSC contains only the X chromosome insertion.
