Allele: Dmel\mir-11sponge.V2.UAS.mCherry
Twenty miRNA binding sites with mismatches at positions 9-12 (creating a "Sponge", designed to sequester miRNAs and thus knocking-down endogenous miRNA activity) are placed in the 3'UTR of mCherry under the control of 10 Gal4 UAS binding sites.
viable, with Scer\GAL4Tub.PU
The lack of a Scer\GAL4tub.PU-mediated viability phenotype is a false negative (compared to independent viability data from miRNA deletion mutants).
