Additional Descriptive Data
The ban microRNA is detected during all stages of development by northern analysis although level of expression varies with developmental stage. Expression is highest in 12-24 h embryos and 1st instar larvae. An assay employed a ubiquitously expressed GFP sensor protein whose transcript contained ban target sites and caused silencing of the reporter in the regions where ban microRNA is expressed. This assay indicates that ban microRNA is expressed throughout the wing disc but has the highest expression in areas of proliferation. A similar correlation between ban microRNA expression and cell proliferation was observed in the larval brain.

Additional comments
The annotation for ban has been changed in release 5.31 of the genome annotation, so that instead of representing a mature miRNA it now represents the precursor stem loop pre-miRNA. The symbol of the annotation has been changed from CR33559 to CR43018 to reflect this change.
"BEST:RE64518" does not encode "ban" function.
Evidence suggests that the P{EP}EP3219[EP3219] insertion is probably not an allele of "ban" but instead affects a genetically separable locus; the decrease in wing size seen in EP3219[EP3219]/Df(3L)ban[Δ1] flies is due primarily to a reduction in cell size rather than cell number, in contrast to ban[L1170a]/Df(3L)ban[Δ1], ban[EP3622]/Df(3L)ban[Δ1] or ban[EPg30491]/Df(3L)ban[Δ1] flies, where the decrease in wing size is due to a reduction in the number of cells. In addition, EP3219[EP3219] combined with ban[L1170a], ban[EPg30491] or ban[EP3622] has little or no effect on growth.
