T26A8.4. Homozygous lethal deletion chromosome balanced by GFP-marked translocation. Heterozygotes are WT with pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT GFP, arrested nT1[qIs51] aneuploids, and non-GFP gk917 homozygotes (Dpyish, late larval arrest or sterile adult). Homozygous nT1[qIs51] inviable. Pick WT GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. External left primer: TGCTTTGGCTCTTCTTGGAT. External right primer: TGTTTGCGCTGAGAGAGAGA. Internal left primer: GCTGAACTAATCCAGGCTGC. Internal right primer: TCCAACGTTCAAGATTCCAA. Internal WT amplicon: 1977 bp. Deletion size: 722 bp. Deletion left flank: TAATTATTATGGAAAAGTGATTTCGATTTT. Deletion right flank: AATTATTCCCATTTATTAATGCGTCAATAA. Insertion Sequence: TTGCTTACCTCCAGGGAGG.
