Expression of JIL-1ΔCTD.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of the Scer\GAL4hs.PB driver results in larval polytene chromosomes with improved spread and a more well resolved banding pattern compared to wild type.
JIL-1ΔCTD.UAS.GFP/Scer\GAL4hs.PB partially rescues JIL-1z2
Expression of JIL-1ΔCTD.Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP under the control of the Scer\GAL4hs.PB driver rescues the autosomal polytene chromosome phenotypes seen in JIL-1z2 homozygous larvae, with improved spread and more well resolved banding pattern than in wild type. The phenotypes seen in the male X chromosome are only partially rescued, with remnants of puffed regions still present. The Scer\GAL4hs.PB driver is leaky and therefore no heat shock is required.
