Imprecise excision of an insertion, resulting in a 1.9kb deletion that removes mir-279.
Imprecise excision of P{EP}EP3069 generates a 1.9kb deletion that removes the mir-279 locus.
1.9kb deletion that removes mir-279.

Approximately 50% of egg chambers from induced mir-279Δ1.9 clones exhibit ectopic cells or clusters of cells. The number of border cells within the main cluster remains normal, indicating the abnormal invasion of follicle cells.
mir-279Δ1.9 mutant egg chambers exhibit frequent border-cell migration defects.
Socs36E[+]/Socs36E178, mir-279ex36 has border follicle cell phenotype
Egg chambers of Socs36E178/+, mir-279Δ1.9/+ double heterozygous females contain additional invasive cells that are not associated with the border cell cluster compared to either single heterozygote.
A Stat92EEP3391 heterozygous background suppresses the ectopic invasive cell phenotype and the border-cell migration defects found in mir-279Δ1.9 mutant clones.
mir-279ex36 is rescued by mir-279+t3
The presence of ectopic cells or clusters of cells in the egg chambers of mir-279Δ1.9 mutant clones is ameliorated by the presence of mir-279+t3.
