Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

ken02970/Df(2R)Chig230 transheterozygous individuals exhibit antennal abnormalities and variable loss of genital structures and are recovered at 0.6% of the expected frequency.

ken1/ken02970 escapers have abnormal terminalia (phenotype is 100% penetrant).

Comments

The P{PZ}ken00628 insertion is in the intergenic region between the divergently transcribed ken and Thiolase genes. P{PZ}ken00628 fails to complement P{PZ}ken02970 (an insertion in the ken coding region) and P{lacW}Thiolasek09828, but P{PZ}ken02970 and P{lacW}Thiolasek09828 complement each other. This indicates that the P{PZ}ken00628 insertion is affecting both the ken and Thiolase genes and that the P{lacW}Thiolasek09828 insertion is a mutation in the Thiolase gene.

Excision of the P{PZ} element results in fully viable flies.

The strength of the following ken alleles can be classified from the weakest to the strongest as follows: ken1 <= ken02970 < kenk11035 < Df(2R)Chig230.
