UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Under control conditions, the adulthood-only expression of Ir10aGD7778 under the control of Scer\GAL4esg-NP7397 (and Gal80[ts], for the temporal regulation of expression) does not significantly affect the mitotic index in the male adult posterior midgut, as compared to controls.
Adults expressing Ir10aGD7778 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
