The Drosophila gene CG14939 encodes a member of a highly conserved family of cyclins, the Y-type cyclins, which have not been functionally characterized in any organism. Here we report the generation and phenotypic characterization of a null mutant of CG14939, which we rename Cyclin Y (CycY). We show that the null mutant, CycY(E8), is homozygous lethal with most mutant animals arresting during pupal development....
