Imprecise excision of an insertion, resulting in a 1.2kb deletion that removes mir-279.
Imprecise excision of P{EP}EP3626 generates a 1.2kb deletion that removes the mir-279 locus.
1.2kb deletion that removes mir-279.

Approximately 67% of homozygous adult escapers have very weak or no locomotor activity rhythms under constant darkness conditions.
mir-279Δ1.2 mutant egg chamber clones exhibit extra cells in between the nurse cells, indicative of an increase in JAK/STAT signalling.
Approximately 50% of egg chambers from induced mir-279Δ1.2 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-279Δ1.2 mutant egg chambers exhibit frequent border-cell migration defects.
mir-279ex117 has abnormal locomotor behavior | adult stage phenotype, suppressible by mir-9961x
mir-279ex117 has abnormal locomotor behavior | adult stage phenotype, suppressible by mir-9962x
mir-279ex117 has abnormal locomotor rhythm phenotype, suppressible by upd1NIG.5993R/Scer\GAL4tim.UAS
Socs36E[+]/Socs36E178, mir-279ex117 has border follicle cell phenotype
Egg chambers of Socs36E178/+, mir-279Δ1.2/+ double heterozygous females contain additional invasive cells that are not associated with the border cell cluster compared to either single heterozygote.
The locomotor rhythm defects seen in mir-279ex117-1 flies under constant darkness conditions are suppressed by expression of upd1NIG.5993R under the control of Scer\GAL4tim.Scer\UAS.
A Stat92EEP3391 heterozygous background suppresses the ectopic invasive cell phenotype and the border-cell migration defects found in mir-279Δ1.2 mutant clones.
mir-279ex117 is rescued by mir-279+t16
mir-279ex117 is rescued by mir-2791x
mir-279ex117 is rescued by mir-2792x
mir-279+t3 rescues the locomotor rhythm defects of mir-279ex117-1 adult escapers.
The presence of ectopic cells or clusters of cells in the egg chambers of mir-279Δ1.2 mutant clones is ameliorated by the presence of mir-279+t3.
