D. melanogaster chromosome III homozygous by descent lines

[Ananias Escalante]

Dear Sirs,

We are currently developing around 400 lines of D. melanogaster homozygous by
decent at the chromosome III using the lethal balanced TM3 strain. These flies
were collected in northern California as  part of a project directed
to study polymorphism in natural populations. The lines were started with
males collected directly from the field. If any person is interested in
these lines please contact:

		Dr. Francisco Ayala
		Dept. Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
		University of California Irvine
		Irvine, CA 92717

		e-mail: fayala at orion.oac.uci.edu

These lines will be discarded after we finish our project,


				Sincerely yours
