Foreign sequence; species == Sciara coprophila; gene == 'II/9-1'; EMBL:X51680 .
DNA puff gene II/9-1 from S.coprophila. P-element mediated transformation of a Ecol\CAT reporter construct driven by Scop\II-9-1 promoter sequences demonstrates that some aspects of the ecdysone response are evolutionarily conserved between Drosophila and Sciara. P-element mediated transformation of a genomic fragment carrying Scop\II-9-1 and Scop\II-9-2 demonstrates the puff genes are not amplified in Drosophila.
