Genomic fragment (fosmid P52GD2) containing the complete crb transcription unit plus approximately 7kb upstream and 5kb downstream sequence. A EGFP tag has been inserted N-terminal to the fourth laminin A globular domain-like repeat.
75% of animals homozygous for crbGX24w- and carrying two copies of crbT:Avic\GFP-EGFP hatch. The adult flies are fertile and do not show any obvious mutant phenotype.
