Description

Insertion of a mdg3 element into the 5' untranslated region.

mdg3 insertion into 5' untranslated leader sequence.

mdg3 insertion in 5' untranslated leader.

Insert stated as cause: undefined Insertion of a copia-like element.

mdg3 insertion into the 5' untranslated leader of w.

Parallel mdg3 insertion into 5' untranslated region.

Insert stated as cause: undefined Insertion of a retrotransposon near the transcription start site.

Insertion of an unknown transposon near the 5' start site of transcription.

Transposable element near 5' structural gene.

Retrotransposon insertion.

Insert stated as cause: undefined Retrotransposon insertion.

Insertion of a 5.8kb transposable element within the w locus.

w+ mRNA not detected in this allele. wsp55 enhanced by Doa (Rabinow and Birchler, 1989). 5.8 kb insertion map site (kb): +3 to +5; Origin = insertion of wa copia; '-' values to left (telomere) end; '+' values to right (centromere) end.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

eyes have lighter coloring.

Homozygous males are darker than homozygous females. Triple X metafemale individuals homozygous for wsp55 exhibit a lighter eye colour than wsp55 homozygous XX females.

Eye colour: mottled with mw.

Eye colour: almost bleach white in homozygous females.

Eye colour: dark yellow in males; lighter in females.

Shows hyper-dosage compensation.

Wow mutations dominantly cause a reduction of w pigmentation.

The alkylating agents EMS, MMS, and ENU induce a clear increase in the frequency of somatic revertant sectors in the eye in wsp55 flies.
