The per CRS (circadian regulatory sequence) and a basal Hsp70 promoter are fused upstream of sequences encoding the per coding region (a hybrid of cDNA and genomic sequences). The genomic portion includes the 3' UTR, including the 3' terminal intron. XhoI and KpnI sites have been introduced flanking this 3' terminal intron.
per01 flies rescued with either perDyak\per.3' or perM2M1 generally show earlier onsets of evening activity and shorter, less robust, midday siestas compared to per01 flies rescued with per8:8.
