A set of transgenic insertion stocks derived by TE mobilization using the P-element construct P{GT1}. The P{GT1} construct is described as a dual-tagged gene trap (FBrf0132344):it carries (1) w+mGT1 mini-white marker, designed to confer a pigmented eye phenotype only if the construct is inserted within a host gene, and (2) a promoter-less Scer\GAL4 gene which is expressed if it is produced as a fusion with the mRNA produced by the host gene. The construct also carries a Tn\neoR selectable marker (FBrf0132344).
The P{GT1}chifBG02820a insertion is within an intron of both chif and of CG42231 (overlapping genes). In addition, Southern blotting using Scer\GAL4 DNA suggests the presence of two additional insertions in the 'BG02820' line: P{GT1}BG02820b and P{GT1}BG02820c.
Location 2L:16347591-16347592 confirmed by FlyBase alignment of dbGSS accession BH615037 to D. melanogaster arm Release_4 and heterochromatin Release_3.2b. Insertion orientation revised.
