UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Knockdown of GapcenA in border cells, through the expression of GapcenAGD12136 under the control of Scer\GAL4c306, does not block border cell migration.
Adults expressing GAPcenAGD12136 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
