Table 2. Deficiencies that cause lateral epidermis phenotypes (18 total).
| Lateral Epidermis Phenotype | Number of Dfs | Screen Name Df(2L)n |
|---|---|---|
| Large cells | 5 | 23, 24, 27, 63, 64 |
| Isotropic/non-stretched cells | 11 | 03, 23, 24, 25, 27, 46, 47, 54, 56, 72, 97 |
| Disorganized cell sheets | 10 | 10, 22, 25, 54, 56, 63, 64, 94, 96A, 99A |
The table lists the three classes of lateral epidermal phenotypes which were observed in embryos homozygous for 2L Dfs, the number of Dfs that caused each of these phenotypes and the Dfs that caused them. Note that Dfs are denoted by chromosomal position (see Material and Methods). The corresponding Bloomington stock numbers and the FlyBase nomenclature can be found in Appendix A. Some Dfs cause phenotypes in more than one category. The superscript A for Df(2L)96A and 99A indicate that these Dfs were added to the study to provide further coverage of the genomic region removed by Df(2L)96 and 99 which could not be imaged at the time of dorsal closure due to tissue failure prior to dorsal closure.
