mir-9a was expressed post-developmentally to avoid muscle loss and degeneration that could confound the analysis.

Overexpression of mir-9a decreases up mRNA levels.

Source was adults of transgenic fly line; bait produced from transgenic construct; prey produced from endogenous gene.

Source was adult indirect flight muscles of transgenic fly line; bait produced from transgenic construct; prey produced from endogenous gene or transgenic construct.

Overexpression of mir-9a reduces up protein levels.
