CRISPR transgene designed to result in an indel (small insertion or deletion mutation) in a target gene when combined with a source of Cas9. Constitutively expresses two sgRNAs, both of which target sequence within the coding region of mamo, immediately downstream of the translation initiation site.
Crispr-Cas9 mutagenesis of mamo by expressing Spyo\Cas9UAS.Tag:NLS(Unk) under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR71G10 and using mamoWKO.5-A2 as a guide, results in a high frequency of mushroom body gamma neuron pruning defects.
