| PubMed Abstract |
The genetic interval 35C to 36A on chromosome arm 2L of Drosophila melanogaster has been saturated for mutations with visible
or lethal phenotypes. 38 loci have been characterized, including several maternal-effect lethals (vasa, Bic-C, chiffon, cactus
and cornichon) and several early embryonic lethals, including snail and fizzy. About 130 deletions have been used to order
these loci. Complex interactions between mutant alleles have been uncovered in the immediate genetic environs of the snail
gene, as has further evidence for an interaction between this region and that including the nearby genes no-ocelli and elbow.
