UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of DsRed(Unk) followed by 3'UTR sequences which include a genomic fragment containing the mir-iab-8 hairpin.
Expression of mir-iab-8Scer\UAS.cTa.T:Disc\RFP-DsRed2 under the control of Scer\GAL4sd-SG29.1 results in larval and pupal lethality. Some pharate adult females can be obtained, and these show nearly complete haltere-to-wing transformations.
Clones in the adult abdomen expressing mir-iab-8Scer\UAS.cTa.T:Disc\RFP-DsRed2 under the control of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PC have not been recovered.
