Dear Rachel:
I wrote you a few months ago about using the names blown fuse
and/or sour grapes as mutant names. We decided to go with blown fuse, blow
for short, to rename l(2)43Eb as isolated by Heitzler et al. The mutant
phenotype is that myoblasts fail during fusion to form myotubes. We've
cloned this gene, which appears to be totally novel.
Steve

Both l(2)43Eb[1] and one other allele we've generated here in the lab.
We're calling them like so: l(2)43Eb[1] = blow[1]
BB034 (our original name) = blow[2]
thanks
