From kcook@XXXX Tue Jun 03 14:42:43 2003 To: rd120@XXXX Subject: Cytological Breakpoints of Df(2L)ade3 The Stock Center received a stock of Df(2L)ade3 from Betsy Wilder, U. of Pennsylvania, which her lab used in Cohen et al., 2002, Dev. Cell 2(4): 437-448 (FBrf0146974). She said the deletion originated with the work of Tiong and Nash (Genetics 1990 124:889--897 ; FBrf0051986). My polytene squashes showed that the deletion has breakpoints 27D1-2;27F1-2. The deletion breaks within both doublets to form a thick fusion band. __________________________________________________________ Kevin Cook, Ph.D. Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center Department of Biology http://flystocks.bio.indiana.edu Jordan Hall 142 Indiana University 812-855-5782 1001 E.
