Expression of mir-iab-4Scer\UAS.cRa.T:Disc\RFP-DsRed2 under the control of Scer\GAL4sd-SG29.1 results in a mild haltere-to-wing transformation including extensive specification of anterior wing margin bristles.
Clones in the adult abdomen expressing mir-iab-4Scer\UAS.cRa.T:Disc\RFP-DsRed2 under the control of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PC can be recovered and show no overt mutant phenotype.
Flies expressing mir-iab-4Scer\UAS.cRa.T:Disc\RFP-DsRed2 under the control of Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096 or Scer\GAL4sd-SG29.1 show haltere-to-wing transformations; the halteres are flattened and elongated along the proximal-distal axis and have an extensive row of sensory bristles at the leading margin.

Flies expressing P{UAS-DsRed2-mir-iab4} (which contains mir-iab-4-3pScer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP-DsRed2 and mir-iab-4-5pScer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP-DsRed2) under the control of Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096 or Scer\GAL4sd-SG29.1 show haltere-to-wing transformations; the halteres are flattened and elongated along the proximal-distal axis and have an extensive row of sensory bristles at the leading margin.
