Additional Information
Statement
Reference

Expression of bcdprotein from a single bcd+t8.7 copy recapitulates the wild type bcdprotein expression pattern, demonstrating high bcd protein concentration atthe anterior tip of the embryo. Additional copies of bcd+t8.7 increase thelevel of bcd protein in the embryo, where high protein concentrations aredetected at up to 50% egg length with four copies.
