Cytological locations are for sequences in D. melanogaster. The D. willistoni ftz and twi region (NA) were not isolated in our library screen. All fosmid clones sequenced have estimated error rates of fewer than 0.17 errors/10 kb. *An additional 65.3 kb of sequence was surveyed from other regions of the D. melanogaster genome as a result of rearrangements (see text for details).
