UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Under control conditions, the adulthood-only expression of dsxJF02256 under the control of Scer\GAL4esg-NP7397 (together with Gal80[ts], for the temporal regulation of expression, and Dicer-2, for efficient RNAi) does not significantly affect the number of eggs laid, and does not significantly affect the number of progenitor cells (intestinal stem cells/enteroblasts) or the mitotic index in the female or male adult posterior midgut, as compared to controls.
