Sequences of tested Ugt86Dd alleles. The top panel shows a fraction of exon 2 from the gene. The leftmost “T” (rightmost “C”) corresponds to position 3R: 11127665 (3R: 11127626) in Release 6 of the D. melanogaster reference genome. The bottom panel shows the predicted polypeptide sequences resulting from strains containing deletions. The “TAC” codon results in the “Y” amino acid (both highlighted in yellow). A3 and A4 are inbred, but wild-derived, strains [3]. A4-Ugt86Dd^wt, A4-Ugt86Dd^Del1, and A4-Ugt86Dd^Del11 were generated by Highfill et al. [6]. Four versions of A4-Ugt86Dd^Del22 (13H, 17B, 23C, and 26I) are identical for this region of the genome, and are new to the present study
