I tested the crossbreedings I did to test how flies behave according to light at different temperatures. The controls I use for this project are WTB x Shi^TS, Gr28b.d(X) x WTB and WTB. For the TrpA1 flies I use WTB x Shi^TS and TrpA1 x WTB. The genotypes that are supposed to show the change in the behavior are Gr28b.d(X) x Shi^TS and TrpA1 x Shi^TS.

As the flies do not behave as they are supposed to (see figure 1 & 2), I’ll start testing the genetic background of different wildtypes to see if that has something to do with the wrong change in the behavior.
