Sequence encoding a GAL4 driver has been inserted into the first, non-sex specific coding exon of dsx. The resulting allele produces wild-type dsx transcripts (represented by dsxKI.GAL4) and GAL4-containing transcripts (represented by Scer\GAL4dsx.KI) in both sexes.
dsxKI.T:Scer\GAL4 homozygous or Df(3R)dsx15/dsxKI.T:Scer\GAL4 trans-heterozygous flies exhibit wild-type external sexual morphology and fertility.
