Description

0/7kb P-element insertion just upstream of the putative transcription start site. 650bp P element insert. P-element insertion at coordinate 0. P-element insertion near the 5' end of the vg transcription unit. vg transcription unit is fused to the P-element insert transcript. A P-element is inserted in the first intron of the vg transcription unit, not 5' to the start of vg transcription as previously thought. The insertion site is 423bp downstream of the vg transcription start site and the P-element has an internal deletion of nucleotides 381-2601. Transcription of the P-element is in the same orientation as that of vg. Insertion of 7kb of unknown DNA at position 0 on the molecular map of the vg region (Williams, Mol. Gen. Genet. 221: 8). Insertion of a 687bp P-element just upstream of the putative transcription start site, the 3' end is 20bp upstream of the first exon, in the same orientation as Ddc transcription. Insertion of a P-element which has a deletion of bases 382-2603 but is otherwise identical to a full P-element. Internally deleted P-element (5' breakpoint at nucleotide position 380 and 3' breakpoint at nucleotide position 2602) inserted in the 5' untranscribed region of vg. Internally deleted P-element inserted in the 5' untranscribed region of vg. insert hybridizing to P sequences at 0kb ; '+' values to right (distal); 0 coordinate assigned to insert position of vg²¹; Williams, Atkin and Bell (1990).
