      Chromosome also carries amosTft and l(2)74i1.
      Complementation data suggest that l(2)37De2 and l(2)37De3 complement Df(2L)TW2 whereas l(2)37De4 and l(2)37De5 fail to complement Df(2L)TW2.
      The Df(2L)TW2 chromosome acts as a dominant weak 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), but this is a false positive result (the suppressor is not within the bounds of the deficient region) because the region of the deficiency is covered by one or more nonsuppressing deficiencies.
