  • 1 Rescue of embryonic lethality was assayed by crossing elav-Gal4; CG31030MI107/TM6B(Tb) females with w; UAS-CG31030/CyO; Df(3R)Exel6214/TM6B(Tb) males, and scoring the relative number of CG31030-expressing adult flies homozygous for CG31030 deficiency (i.e., non-Tb and non-Cy elav-Gal4/+; UAS-CG31030/+; CG31030MI107/Df(3R)Exel6214) in the progeny (highlighted line).

  • 2 Expected percentage of adult progeny flies of each genotype in case of full rescue.

  • 3 Actual percentage obtained in the experiments. 24 rescued adults were recovered out of a total of 373 progeny flies.
