A set of ~50 targeted deficiencies created by exploiting hybrid element insertion (HEI) and resolution; designed to fill gaps in deletion coverage.
69D4-69D5;69F5-69F7
This deletion removes a single ribosomal protein-coding gene (though other genes are also removed).
Fails to complement Df(3L)iro-2. Fails to complement Df(3L)eygC1.
Flies heterozygous for the deletion do not show a Minute bristle phenotype.
The Df(3L)BSC10 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).
The miniwhite markers from both P{lacW}mirrcre2 and P{lacW}RpS12s2783 were deleted or disrupted.
