l(2)37Bi << bk1 << l(2)37CDf << l(2)37Dk << bk2 << ref(2)P
This deletion removes multiple ribosomal protein-coding genes (in addition to other genes).
Breakpoint(s) molecularly mapped
The Df(2L)TW158 chromosome acts as a dominant weak suppressor of telomeric silencing (assayed using the effect of the chromosome on the eye colour phenotype of flies carrying "P{wvar}KR3-2", a stable "brown-red" variant of the P{3'WP-2,wvar}2Lt insertion), but this is a false positive result (the suppressor is not within the bounds of the deficient region) because the region of the deficiency is covered by one or more nonsuppressing deficiencies.
