Expression of Disc\RFP(CTG)270.Scer\UAS in the muscle (Scer\GAL4how-24B) results in some lethality. Expression either ubiquitously (Scer\GAL4da.G32) or in the nervous system (Scer\GAL4elav-C155) results in larval lethality.
Expression of Disc\RFP(CTG)270.Scer\UAS in the developing eye, under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF gives a moderate to severe rough eye phenotype, with abnormal eye pigmentation and disruption of retinal integrity.
