Two of my students have done Ph. D under my guidence on D. melanogaster- D. simulans hybrids recently. They wanted to continue their works in their colleges on the hybrids. One of them has interested on the paper published by the group Lakhotia et al (1981) published in Chromosoma 82 : 229-236. She has also awarded one scheme from W.B DST for continuing her research work in her college. She also maintained necessary Drosophila stocks in her college inherited from my lab. However, she failed to generate the mosaic (i.e. XX/XO) flies as the protocol of the paper mentioned above. If any body can write me the necessary protocol, I can forward the message to her.
