Statement
Reference
Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion, resulting in a 2.63kb deletion which removes genomic sequence from 355bp upstream of the original insertion site, the entire 527 amino acid dream coding region and all of the transcribed region of dream except the final 70bp.

Statement
Reference
dream[4] homozygotes exhibit wild-type apoptosis of vCrz neurons, with no viable vCrz neurons detected at 7 hours after puparium formation.
No abnormal mid-stage egg chambers are seen in the ovaries of homozygous or dream[4]/Df(2R)nap9 females.

Reference
Nearly all vCrz neurons are present at 7 hours after puparium formation in dream[4]; Nc[I24] double mutants. Such an abnormal programmed cell death phenotype is significantly more severe than in either single mutant. No surviving vCrz neurons are found at 7 hours after puparium formation in dream[4]; Nc[I24]/+ mutants, suggesting that heterozygosity of Nc is sufficient to compensate for the lack of dream function. Triple mutants of Dredd[B118]; dream[4]; Nc[I24] display results comparable to dream[4]; Nc[I24] double mutants, i.e. all vCrz neurons are still present having not undergone apoptosis by 7 hours after puparium formation.
dream[4] ; Nc[I24]/Nc[I29] Ice[Δ1] triple mutant larvae show high levels of TUNEL staining at -4 to -1 hours relative to puparium formation, suggesting that they are undergoing cell death.
Females containing dream[4] ; Nc[I24] double homozygous germline clones are fertile, but their ovaries contain 31% of mid-stage egg chambers with missing follicle cells and large surviving nurse cells. There is also an increase in mid-stage egg chambers containing condensed nurse cell nuclei but lacking follicle cells. 16% of stage 14 egg chambers contain persisting nurse cell nuclei. Females containing dream[4] ; Nc[I29] double homozygous germline clones are fertile, but their ovaries contain 46% of mid-stage egg chambers with missing follicle cells and large surviving nurse cells. Many of these egg chambers contain excessive numbers of nurse cells. There is also an increase in mid-stage egg chambers containing condensed nurse cell nuclei but lacking follicle cells. 21% of stage 14 egg chambers contain persisting nurse cell nuclei. No significant defects is seen in the egg chambers of females containing dream[2]/dream[4] ; Nc[I29] double homozygous germline clones. Dredd[B118] dream[4] double mutant females do not show any defects during oogenesis.
