58.8kb genomic fragment encompassing eya and flanking regions.
One copy of eya+tGR rescues rescues eye formation in eya2 homozygotes. The external and internal morphology of the eyes is indistinguishable from wild type.
One copy of eya+tGR rescues the lethality of eyacli-IID/Df(2L)BSC354 animals. The rescued adults are viable and fertile, both in males and females. The external and internal morphology of the eyes is indistinguishable from wild type. The electroretinogram of the rescued adults is normal. Photoreceptor axon projections in the brains of rescued adults appear normal.
One copy of eya+tGR fully rescues eye formation in eya2 homozygotes.
One copy of eya+tGR fully rescues the lethality of eyacli-IID/Df(2L)BSC354 animals. The rescued adults have eyes which are indistinguishable from wild type (both externally and in cross sections) and eye discs from late third instar larvae also appear normal. The electroretinogram of the rescued adults is normal. Photoreceptor axon projections in the brains of rescued adults and third instar larvae appear normal. Rescued females are fertile and rescued males produce wild-type numbers of progeny when mated to wild-type virgin females.
