Removing nvy makes cells less likely to adopt sensory organ precursor fate as there are significantly more sensory organ precursors along the outside border of clones expressing nvydsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PZ generated in wing discs, than there are along the inside borders of the clone.
nvyRNAi.UAS is an enhancer of macrochaeta | increased number phenotype of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237, daUAS.cGa
Inhibition of nvy expression, achieved by expressing nvydsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237, enhances the extra bristle phenotype of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 > daScer\UAS.cGa flies.
Transfected into flies to study the phenotypic consequences of dsRNA interference (RNAi) of the nvy gene.
