The following information accompanied stocks donated to the Bloomington Stock Center by Kenta Asahina and David Anderson, California Institute of Technology.
Anne Hergarden and Timothy Tayler cloned the putative regulatory regions of several neuropeptide genes upstream of GAL4 as described in the construction of P{Crz-GAL4.391} and P{AstA-GAL4.2.1} in Hergarden et al. (FBrf0217661) and Tayler et al. (FBrf0220217) to create the following constructs:

Annotation ID: CG13968 
Construct: P{sNPF-GAL4.TH}
Gene: Tachykinin 
Annotation ID: CG14734 
Construct: P{Tk-GAL4.TH}
The following are X chromosome insertions:
P{Capa-GAL4.TH}5F
P{Dh31-GAL4.TH}5F
P{Lk-GAL4.TH}1
P{Mip-GAL4.TH}3M
P{Tk-GAL4.TH}5Fa
P{sNPF-GAL4.TH}2
The following are second chromosome insertions:
P{AstA-GAL4.2.1}5
P{Crz-GAL4.391}3M
P{Crz-GAL4.391}6Ma
P{Crz-GAL4.391}6Mb
P{Burs-GAL4.TH}4M
P{Capa-GAL4.TH}4F
P{ETH-GAL4.TH}1M
P{Lk-GAL4.TH}2M
P{Mip-GAL4.TH}2M
P{Ms-GAL4.TH}6Ma
P{Ms-GAL4.TH}6Mb
P{Proc-GAL4.TH}6M
P{Tk-GAL4.TH}2Ma
P{Tk-GAL4.TH}4M
The following are third chromosome insertions:
P{AstA-GAL4.2.1}2Ma
P{AstA-GAL4.2.1}3M
P{Crz-GAL4.391}4M
P{AstC-GAL4.TH}1M
P{AstC-GAL4.TH}4M
P{Dh31-GAL4.TH}2M
P{Dh44-GAL4.TH}2M
P{Dh44-GAL4.TH}3M
P{Dsk-GAL4.TH}3M
P{Dsk-GAL4.TH}4M
P{FMRFa-GAL4.TH}1M
P{Mip-GAL4.TH}1M
P{Ms-GAL4.TH}1M
P{Proc-GAL4.TH}2M
P{Tk-GAL4.TH}3Ma
The GAL expression patterns of these constructs may not necessarily recapitulate the endogenous peptide expression pattern due to incomplete regulatory elements in the promoter region used and chromosomal position effects.
All insertions were backcrossed for multiple generations into a Canton-S background into which w1118 had been introgressed.
