Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The neuromuscular system of the Drosophila larva contains a small number of identified motor neurons that make genetically defined synaptic connections with muscle fibers. We drove high-level expression of genes in these motor neurons by crossing 2293 GAL4-driven EP element lines with known insertion site sequences to lines containing a pan-neuronal GAL4 source and UAS-green fluorescent protein...
