A set of ~800 largely isogenic deficiency stocks created by FLP-induced recombination between FRT-carrying transgenic insertions; molecularly defined deletion endpoints correspond to initial location of the progenitor insertions. Designed to fill gaps in deletion coverage and breakpoint placement; also used to replace older available deficiencies that have not been molecularly mapped.
Breakpoint from FlyBase's release 5 sequence location of progenitor insertion.
The presence of P+PBac{XP5.RB3}BSC738 was verified using the PCR methods and primers described in FBrf0175003, with the substitution of the primer 5’-GCTTCTAAACGCTTACGCATAAACGATG-3’ for the RB3’ plus or RB3’ minus primer in the Hybrid PCR protocol in the Supplementary Methods.
The cytological breakpoints of Df(3R)BSC738 predicted from the Release 5 genomic coordinates of the insertion sites pf the progenitor transposable elements P{XP}TfIIFalphad01485 and PBac{RB}Edg84Ae02715 are 83E5;84A1.
