A strategy for generation and balancing of autosome: Y chromosome translocations
2014
Joshi, Sonal S | Cheong, Han | Meller, Victoria H
We describe a method for generation and maintenance of translocations that move large autosomal segments onto the Y chromosome. Using this strategy we produced (2;Y) translocations that relocate between 1.5 and 4.8 Mb of the 2ⁿᵈ chromosome.. All translocations were easily balanced over a male-specific lethal 1 (msl-1) mutant chromosome. Both halves of the translocation carry visible markers, as well as P-element ends that enable molecular confirmation. Halves of these translocations can be separated to produce offspring with duplications and with lethal second chromosome deficiencies . Such large deficiencies are otherwise tedious to generate and maintain.
