Table 3. Deficiencies with zipping/canthus phenotypes (33 total).
| Zipping/Canthus Phenotype | Number of Dfs | Screen Name Df(2L)n |
|---|---|---|
| Scarring from zipping | 14 | 10, 17, 25, 27, 28, 29, 43, 48, 51, 55, 63, 64, 68, 99A |
| Cigar shaped opening | 10 | 01, 09, 10, 12, 19, 24, 25, 38, 51, 97 |
| Missing/malformed canthus | 14 | 03, 22, 23, 25, 27, 37, 54, 63, 64, 72, 84, 94, 97, 100 |
| Exacerbated asymmetric zipping | 4 | 08, 17, 52, 92 |
Listed are the four classes of zipping and canthus phenotypes which were observed in embryos homozygous for 2L Dfs, the number of Dfs that caused the phenotypes and the Dfs that caused them. 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)99A indicates that this Df was added to the study to provide further coverage of the genomic region removed by Df(2L)99 which could not be imaged at the time of dorsal closure due to tissue failure earlier in development.
