Efficient expression of genes in the Drosophila germline using a UAS-promoter free of interference by Hsp70 piRNAs

2018-03-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Controlling the expression of genes using a binary system involving the yeast GAL4 transcription factor has been a mainstay of Drosophila melanogaster developmental genetics for twenty-five years. However, most existing GAL4 expression constructs only function effectively in somatic cells, but not in germ cells during oogenesis, for unknown reasons. A special UAS promoter, UASp was created that...
