The crosses that were set up several weeks ago are coming along nicely. Jane really helped me out by setting up the F2 parents in new bottles last week; yesterday, I cleared the adults out of these bottles and am looking forward to the F3 progeny emerging in about 2 weeks.
In other new, the June and Feb stocks are expanded and ready to go for testing once the quarter start. I also went through and keyed out the 11/23/11 collections with the following results:
@ Full Belly Farm, Guinda, CA (elevation 500'), from 103 isofemale lines: 74% D. sim, 11% D. mel, 15% virgin females -> 20 lines D. sim and 10 lines D. mel were added to the CA Collections lab inventory
@ Miller Mandarines, Newcastle, CA (elevation 920'), from 100 isofemale lines: 93% D. sim, 0% D. mel, 7% virgin females -> 20 lines D. sim were added to the CA Collections lab inventory

This is great! I am very happy about sim collections. Heather wanted to sequence a simulans pool and maybe we could use yours?
P.S. And thank you for adding me to the blog!
Yes! That shouldn't be a problem--Heather can totally have access to those fly stocks.
Awesome! Also, I'm back in town if you want to check in.
Cheers,
Alan
