UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a DsRed(Unk) fluorescent protein. A genomic fragment containing an miRNA cluster (includes the mir-963 and mir-964 pre-miRNA hairpins) has been inserted into the DsRed(Unk) 3'UTR.
Expression of P{UAS-DsRed-mir-963+mir-964.L} under the control of Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096 results in smaller wings than normal, which are blistered, have thickened veins and have a disorganised vein pattern.
Expression of P{UAS-DsRed-mir-963+mir-964.L} under the control of Scer\GAL4sd-SG29.1 results in flies with no wings.
