Template corresponding to unspecified 500bp of coding sequence of CoVa.
Expression of CoVadsRNA.cMa in the posterior signalling center (PSC) under the control of either Scer\GAL4Antp-10 leads to an increase in the number of circulating lamellocytes.
Transfection of S2 cells with CoVadsRNA.cMa leads to a gradual reduction in ATP levels and a concomitant decrease in cell proliferation rate.
dsRNA has been synthesised from the template and transfected into S2 cells to study the phenotypic consequences of dsRNA interference (RNAi) of the CoVa gene.
