Hi chihiro,
.
The lethality associated with P{PZ}rL203 is not due to the insertion, and
Freek recombined it off before mobilising the P.

Hi Daniel!
I'm currently curating your paper for FlyBase:
van Eeden et al., 2001, J. Cell Biol. 154(3): 511--524
P{PZ}rL203
==========
This insertion is in the 5'UTR of btz. On page 515 you tell us that it
'does not cause a phenotype'. Does this mean that the homozygous
insertion does not cause a btz phenotype or does not cause any
phenotype at all, and is thus wild-type?
I need to know because currently this insertion is in our records as
causing an allele l(3)rL203rL203, which is stated to be homozygous
lethal. If there is a real discrepancy between the phenotypes here
then it suggests the lethal phenotype is separable from the insertion
and will need some extra sorting out.
.
Thanks
Chihiro
