CRISPR construct designed to result in an indel (small insertion or deletion mutation) in a target gene when combined with a source of Cas9. Constitutively expresses an sgRNA that targets the coding sequence of sgll.
Expression of sgllTKO.GS01766 (and Spyo\Cas9UAS.P2) under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155, in adults given a sugar-only diet, significantly reduces survival in the first 9 d after eclosion, compared to controls.
