The plasmid is pW8. It is apparently a P-element >vector used for inserting DNA into the genome of Drosophila melanogaster. If this is any help, there is a PW8(something) mentioned in John Merriam's Drosophila clone list. Here are the entries. clonelist.txt:7D1,2 [PW8hsp-sev ch41]hsp,sev 3 0 Science243:931 clonelist.txt:46E [PW8hsp-sev ch21]hsp,sev 3 0 Science243:931 clonelist.txt:93B [PW8hsp-sev ch50]hsp,sev 3 0 Science243:931 The first column is cytological map location, the next [PW8...] is gene name the third ("3") is "transformed inserts", the fourth column ("0") is size in kilobases, and the last is a reference.
