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 whd.
Expression of whdTOE.GS00536 under the control of Scer\GAL4dome-PG14 (in combination with tub-Gal80[ts]) leads to an increase in the differentiation of hemocyte progenitors in both primary and secondary lobes of larval lymph gland. It also leads to a decrease in the occurrence of cell division in primary lobe of larval lymph gland.
