A set of ~50 targeted deficiencies created by exploiting hybrid element insertion (HEI) and resolution; designed to fill gaps in deletion coverage.
98B1-98B2;98B3-98B5
Homozygous Df(3R)BSC42 mutant embryos display bifurcation defects of the abdominal segmental nerve (SNa) in which the dorsal, lateral, or both branches are missing with nearly the same penetrances.
The distal half of the salivary gland turns but the proximal half does not in embryos homozygous for Df(3R)BSC42 by stage 14.
The miniwhite marker from P{EP}EP3088 was deleted or disrupted.
The proximal breakpoint of Df(3R)BSC42 lies within the 98B1,2 doublet, leaving a portion of the doublet intact in the deletion chromosome.
