A set of ~50 targeted deficiencies created by exploiting hybrid element insertion (HEI) and resolution; designed to fill gaps in deletion coverage.

The 2L:6411355 release 6 coordinate of the left breakpoint is an estimate. It corresponds to the insertion site of P{lacW}l(2)k09923k09923. As FBrf0175003 explains, deletions generated by P transposase in the presence of trans-heterozygous P elements are expected to extend from the end of one P insertion to the vicinity of the other P insertion. The absence of miniwhite from the Df(2L)BSC6 chromosome suggests that the deletion extends from the left end of the P{PZ}cup01355 insertion to the vicinity of P{lacW}l(2)k09923k09923.
The 2L:6663664..6664150 release 6 coordinate of the right breakpoint is an estimate. It corresponds to the insertion site of P{PZ}cup01355 in the 5' UTR of cup (FBrf0093133). As FBrf0175003 explains, deletions generated by P transposase in the presence of trans-heterozygous P elements are expected to extend from the end of one P insertion to the vicinity of the other P insertion. The absence of miniwhite from the Df(2L)BSC6 chromosome suggests that the deletion extends from the left end of the P{PZ}cup01355 insertion to the vicinity of P{lacW}l(2)k09923k09923.
The Df(2L)BSC6 chromosome does not act as a dominant suppressor of telomeric silencing (assayed using the effect of the chromosome on the eye colour phenotype of flies carrying "P{wvar}KR3-2", a stable "brown-red" variant of the P{3'WP-2,wvar}2Lt insertion).
The miniwhite marker in the P{lacW} construct is disrupted or deleted in the Df(2L)BSC6 chromosome based on w- eye color in a w1 background.
