Documentation and Contact Information for Laboratory Stock Lists

Carpenter

This is a list of mutations, chromosomes, or stocks available from Adelaide Carpenter. In some cases the same mutation is available in different backgrounds. When requesting a mutation please communicate its intended use so the most appropriate stock can be provided. To request stocks, send e-mail to: atc12@mole.bio.cam.ac.uk.

Garcia-Bellido

This is the stock list of Antonio Garcia-Bellido. The three fields are Stock number, Genotype, and Comments. Contact for the Garcia-Bellido stock list:

Nusslein-Volhard

These files contain all Drosophila stocks currently maintained in the Nusslein-Volhard lab, and replace the previously published list: Tearle, R., and Nusslein-Volhard, C. (1987). Tuebingen mutants and stock list. D. I. S. 66: 198-269. The stocks are grouped as follows:

A series: marker stocks and balancers etc.
B series: embryonic lethals
D series: rearrangements
E series: lethals in cact region (S. Roth)
F series: maternal effect mutants which give no eggs
G series: maternal effect mutants whose embryos are developmentally abnormal
H series: maternal effect mutants whose eggs have altered chorion morphology
(F, G, H: female steriles on 3rd from major 3rd chromosome screen of G. Juergens and C. Nusslein-Volhard)
K series: stocks which have to be nursed to ensure survival
M series: general maternal effect mutants from several screens and labs
T series: transgenic stocks
Z series: embryonic lethals from screen of C. Nusslein-Volhard, E. Wieschaus and G. Juergens
(Z2: zygotic on 2nd; Z3: zygotic on 3rd)

Please note that we have enclosed P element designations with "P{...}" in agreement with the FlyBase format.

Although we are happy to fulfill stock requests of a specific nature, several of the stocks are kept in the stock centers at Umea, Mid- America (Bowling Green) and Bloomington, and these should be the source for initial requests.

Reuter

These files are the stock lists of Gunter Reuter. A wide variety of stocks are included in reuter1.csv; reuter2.csv is primarily a list of enhancers of variegation. The fields in reuter1.csv are:

Field 1 Stock number
Field 2 Stock group
Field 3 Code
Field 4 Genotype
Field 5 Comments 1 (Genetik)
Field 6 Comments 2 (Bemerkung)

The fields in reuter2.csv are:

Field 1 Locus, Genes
Field 2 Mutations
Field 3 Map and other genetic data

These files are posted as provided (reuter1 is in German). Some odd characters are present as a result of the translation to text. The files have not been edited to standardize genotypic representation. Allele designations are sometimes preceded by a tilde, sometimes by a << symbol, and, most often, are simply added to the gene name, e.g., wm4 for w[m4]. Questions about these lists, or the stocks, should be directed to Gunter Reuter.
