Genomic construct lacking orb2 A isoform specific exons. A EGFP-kanamycin cassette has been inserted into exon 1 removing the start ATG codon of orb2A and introduces a stop codon.
orb2Δ homozygotes that express orb2ΔA.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP exhibit a significant decrease in long-term memory in male courtship suppression assays, as compared to controls.
