UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
In adults, expression of tra2GD768 under the control of Scer\GAL4121Y, Scer\GAL430Y (in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency), Scer\GAL4103Y (with Dicer-2), Scer\GAL41471 or Scer\GAL4to.PD leads to significantly more female siesta sleep while there is no change in male siesta sleep when compared to controls.
Expression of traUAS.cFa under the control of Scer\GAL4pros-V1 does not lead to any changes in female siesta sleep when compared to control adults.
Adults expressing tra2GD768 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
Expression of tra2GD768 under the control of Scer\GAL4dsx.KI in XX flies leads to male-like abdominal pigmentation, genitalia and sex combs.
Expression of tra2GD768 under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C in females results in development of male-like genitalia and abdominal pigmentation.
