This deletion removes a single ribosomal protein-coding gene (though other genes are also removed).
Lethal in combination with Df(2R)BSC652.
Flies heterozygous for the deletion do not show a Minute bristle phenotype.
The Df(2R)bwVDe2LPxKR chromosome does not act as a dominant suppressor of telomeric silencing (assayed using the effect of the chromosome on the eye colour phenotype of flies carrying "P{wvar}KR3-2", a stable "brown-red" variant of the P{3'WP-2,wvar}2Lt insertion).
Intermediate second site non-complementing phenotype with zipEbr and zipmhc-c6.1 : malformed phenotype penetrance 25-75%. Shows a dominant wing blister phenotype.
Kaufman.
Designation as "In(2R)bwVDe2LCyR" was in error.
Distal breakpoint revised from 60D1 to 60B1 because earlier estimates were inconsistent with the data; 60B1 is a better fit.
