Df(2L)mir-963-964-KO/Df(2L)BSC169 males and females are fertile.
Df(2L)mir-963-964-KO/Df(2L)BSC169 males show a significant increase in median lifespan compared to controls.
Partial lethality is seen at the embryonic stage in Df(2L)mir-963-964-KO/Df(2L)BSC169 animals derived from Df(2L)mir-963-964-KO/Df(2L)mir-963-964-KO females mated to Df(2L)BSC169/+ males.
Partial lethality due to a maternal effect is seen at the embryonic stage in homozygous embryos derived from a cross between homozygous males and homozygous females.
