UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
The embryos derived from fathers expressing Desat1KK107747 under the control of Scer\GAL4T76 and control mothers do not show loss of chromosomes, as compared to controls.
Expression of Desat1KK107747 under the control of Scer\GAL4sal.BO (in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency) does not result in larval lethality at the L2/L3 transition.
