Reference(s) (McNabb et al., 1997)
Molecular data
Construct: A 'mini-white' gene constructed by deletion of the HindIII-XbaI fragment from the long 5' intron. Carried by the Casper series of vectors.
 
4.15kb SpeI fragment of the w gene that carries a deletion of a large part of the first intron and the regulatory region is reduced to 300bp preceding the transcription start site.
Minigene of the white cDNA.
Deletion of w+mC 5' flanking sequences to position -305.

Additional Information
Statement
Reference
Expression is observed in eclosion hormone-expressing neurons.
Expression is observed in eclosion-hormone expressing neurons.
Late third instar larval expression is observed in two neurons, the eclosion hormone neurons, in the brain lobes. A representative image can be seen in FBrf0098847.
