A set of ~50 targeted deficiencies created by exploiting hybrid element insertion (HEI) and resolution; designed to fill gaps in deletion coverage.
85F1-85F2;86C7-86C8
This deletion removes a single ribosomal protein-coding gene (though other genes are also removed).
The distal half of the salivary gland turns but the proximal half does not in embryos homozygous for Df(3R)BSC38 by stage 14.
Flies heterozygous for the deletion do not show a Minute bristle phenotype.
The deficiency chromosome retains the miniwhite marker from P{EP}EP3681 and/or P{EP}EP3340EP3340.
Polytene chromosome squashes showed the breakpoints 85F1-2;86C7-8 (i.e. breaks within both doublet bands to form a fusion band).
