Abstract

We used paired-end next generation sequencing (NGS) to characterize the classic isoform-specific pkpk1 and pksple1 mutations of the prickle gene in Drosophila melanogaster. Here we provide evidence that these previously reported null mutations are caused by either a tirant transposon insertion into the 5’ UTR of pkpk1 or a premature stop codon in the second exon of pksple1. Additional likely benign missense mutations were identified in both mutant isoforms.
