The entire lncRNA gene has been knocked out and replaced with an attP site followed by an FRT-flanked Disc\RFP3xP3.cUa fluorescent marker.

lncRNA region removed by targeted deletion.
CR43416KO homozygote males show severely reduced fertility compared to wild-type controls and display severe morphological defects in testes (accumulation of abnormal cotton-like flocculus in their distal part) as well as in spermatid morphogenesis (mutant testes contain sperm cells that are scattered or curled).
lncRNA:CR43416KO is rescued by lncRNA:CR43416+tWa
