Location 2L:20746025-20746026 confirmed by FlyBase alignment of dbGSS accession AQ026407 to D. melanogaster arm Release_4 and heterochromatin Release_3.2b. Insertion orientation confirmed.
This insertion was listed in the BDGP database as a lethal or sterile line during the period 1994-1999, but was not verified as such prior to the summary publication (FBrf0111489). Reasons for excluding lines from the collection described in FBrf0111489 include presence of more than one P insertion on the mutant chromosome, separation of lethality (or sterility) from the location of the insertion, and loss of lethality (or sterility) from the stock.
