UAS regulates expression of a sequence containing sgRNAs targeting Apc, Apc2, p53, Med, Pten and cic, which are the orthologs of the most frequently mutated tumor suppressors in colorectal cancer patients. Each sgRNA is flanked by tRNA sequences. Note that a knockout of cic could not be verified.

This allele is generated as a part of the multi-gene construct P{UAS-Apc,Apc2,p53,Med,Pten,cic.sgRNA}, therefore the other mutations in that construct are included in this model.
