CRISPR construct designed to result in activation of a target gene when combined with a source of nuclease-dead Cas9 fused to a transcriptional activator domain. Constitutively expresses two sgRNAs, both of which target sequence upstream of the transcription start site of wg.
Ectopic activation of the wg gene expression from its endogenous genomic locus using wgTOE.GS00125 with Spyo\Cas9d.Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG,T:Uuuu\nls-Unk,T:Zzzz\VPR expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4dpp.PU leads to partial duplication of the wing pouch in third instar larval wing discs.
