Ubx sequence from -1763 to +1136 of the promoter are fused to lacZ sequences.
2.9kb PstI fragment of Ubx, including 1.7kb 5' flanking sequence and 1.2kb of the first exon is fused in frame to lacZ, creating a gene fusion of the 56th codon of Ubx to the 8th codon of lacZ.
construct_comment: Cloning reporter vector designed to test Ubx regulatory sequences; vector alone produces a "basal" lacZ expression pattern.
