From kcook@XXXX Tue Jun 29 01:52:16 1999 To: flybase-updates@XXXX Subject: P{w+mC=lacW}Mvl97 From: Kevin Cook, Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center Subject: P{w+mC=lacW}Mvl97 In Rodrigues et al. 1995 (EMBO J. 14(13):3007-3020), the Mvl97f allele was said to be induced by mobilization of P elements from 'C(1)RM(w+)8'. This corresponds the the attached-X chromosome in Bloomington stocks 16 C(1)RM, y1 P{w+mC=lacW}5-45fD w* P{lacW}4-5fP P{lacW}3-52d P{lacW}3-76a/0/C(1;Y)13, v1 f1 3697 C(1)RM, y1 P{w+mC=lacW}5-45fD w* P{lacW}4-5fP P{lacW}3-52d P{lacW}3-76a/+ 3711 C(1)RM, y1 P{w+mC=lacW}5-45fD w* P{lacW}4-5fP P{lacW}3-52d P{lacW}3-76a/w1118/Y Champakali Ayyub confirmed in correspondence (May 18, 1999) that the Mvl97f allele is an insertion of P{w+mC=lacW}.
