The stau cDNA, missing the first 281 amino acids is driven by the αTub67C promoter and tagged at the amino terminus with Tag:MYC.

stauΔN.αTub67C.Tag:MYC rescues stau2
Addition of stauΔN.αTub67C.T:Hsap\MYC to stau2 mothers produces embryos almost all of which survive to hatching and larval stages. 85% of adult offspring have gametic ovaries.
