2kb genomic fragment containing the entire second intron and flanking exon sequences (position +1047 to +3031) is fused upstream of a 980bp 5' flanking region (position -980 to +1) of the dpp promoter which directs Ecol\lacZ expression.
Expression pattern is the same as endogengous dpp expression.
Expression is similar to that of endogenous dpp transcript.
report comment: Addition of sequences from dpp second intron confers earliest (Phase I) embryonic expression.
