5.2kb of eve promoter sequences from position -5.2kb to -42bp is fused in frame to lacZ at codon 22, polyadenylation site is provided by a 3' fragment of αTub84B.
In the embryo, only a subset of the normal 7 eve stripes appear. At gastrulation, stripes 2, 3, and 7 appear; these remain the only detectable stripes later in embryogenesis.
construct_comment: One of a deletion series of lacZ reporter constructs used to characterized 5\' regulatory elements of eve.
