Subject: ospPW
and another PC to flybase, correcting an earlier PC, FBrf0099485.
ospPW is derived from k08808 and is mutant for osp and retains a
Pw+. It was isolated as an osp allele in a screen for local hops.
OK so far: but it's actually a deletion of osp to 35Bc (Adh status unknown).
These data and the screen design suggest the deletion may have
occurred as a result of a male recombination event. I'm tempted to
call it k08808-mr1.
Oh dear.
