Precise deletion of the Xrp1 coding sequence. Generated by replacing the RMCE cassette in Mi{MIC}Xrp1MI07118 with a targeting construct, followed by two rounds of homologous recombination in which the targeting construct acts as the donor.
Deletion of Xrp1 created by homologous recombination. Position of deletion endpoints on reference sequence determined from reported primer sequences.
cazKO mutant larvae do not show any obvious defects in larval crawling ability (i.e. speed), as compared to controls.
