Abstract excerpt
The phagocytic receptor Draper (Drpr) mediates clearance of apoptotic cells in Drosophila melanogaster, yet how distinct drpr alleles and RNAi constructs differ in efficiency and phenotypic outcomes has not been systematically compared. Here, we evaluate multiple drprRNAi lines across UAS/GAL4, QUAS/QF2, and LexA/LexAop systems, alongside a newly generated CRISPR allele (drprCR1). Immunostaining confirmed...
