Insertion of an I-element.
I-element insertion.
Insertion of a full length I-element into the large first intron at +3176 (FBrf0041384 and FBrf0040782). The transcriptional orientation of the I-element is the same as that of the w locus. The full length I-element insertion is preceeded by 3 repetitions of the first 6 nucleotides of the I-element.
Insertion into non-translated region of the w gene.
Parallel I-element insertion into intron 1.
I element insertion.
5.4kb I-element insertion 5.4kb I insertion map site (kb): +3.2; Origin = insertion of wa copia; '-' values to left (telomere) end; '+' values to right (centromere) end.
Eye colour: orange.
Flies have red-brown eyes.
Eye colour: red-brown, at all temperatures.
wIR6 has abnormal eye color | recessive phenotype, suppressible by Low1
wIR6 has pigment cell phenotype, suppressible by Low1
Pelisson.
The I-element insertion in wIR1 interferes with the normal processing of w gene transcripts.
