Pleiotropic consequences of misexpression of the developmentally active and stress-inducible non-coding hsrω gene in Drosophila.

Abstract excerpt

The non-coding hsrω gene of Drosophila melanogaster is expressed in nearly all cell types and developmental stages. However, in the absence of conventional mutant alleles of this gene, its developmental functions remain largely unknown. In the present study, we used a variety of GAL4 drivers to overexpress or ablate this gene’s transcripts in specific tissues and examined the developmental consequences thereof....
