Insertion lines from this collection were assessed for inclusion in the Gene Disruption Project collection.
A set of X chromosome transgenic insertion stocks derived by TE mobilization using the
P-element construct
P{Mae-UAS.6.11}. The
P{Mae-UAS.6.11} construct carries the yellow marker
y+t7.7, and
Scer\UAS binding sites for the
Scer\GAL4 transcriptional regulator. The GAL4-UAS system allows regulated expression of genes proximate to the site of the insertion: genes properly oriented with respect to the
Scer\UAS sequences can be conditionally expressed via transgene-derived
Scer\GAL4 activity.
