Newest crossing scheme for optomotor experiments

on Thursday, August 21st, 2025 12:24 | by

Figure 1. All crosses and their outcomes. The cross in the red box is the lethal crossing.

The 1st cross produced eggs, but they did not hatch or become pupae. In all of the 10 vials, eggs were observed, but no pupae. On the other hand, the 2nd cross did not produce any eggs. (The first trial was kept up for 10 days. After 10 days, a new trial began from the same stock. ) Control and the other two crosses produced eggs and hatched new flies.

The same crosses were repeated to ensure the lethality. In the second trial, ‘T4/T5xWTB’ cross produced eggs and pupae. But there is still the possibility that the T4/T5xWTB is also a lethal crossing. ‘T4/T5xTNTE’ cross again produced only eggs but no pupae. The other two crosses produced pupae again and became dark, but haven’t hatched yet. The second attempt is 10 days old.

Figure 1. All of the fly stocks and the outcomes

After the 10th day, cross 2 and the control group hatched new flies. On the 13th day, all of the groups have hatched flies. None of the crosses seems to be lethal.

Verification TH-C-AD;TH-D-DBD

on Monday, September 11th, 2023 9:52 | by

Confocal images with anti-GFP and anti-Brp staining of TH-C-AD;TH-D-DBD > mCD::GFP fly brains: A: 4 PPM 2 DANs per hemisphere marked with blue circles, three clusters of Kenyon cell bodies per hemisphere marked with white arrows. B: Five visible cell bodies of unidentified neurons marked with a blue circle in the left hemisphere. The neurons project into the lobula plate and the medulla. Strong fluorescence of cell bodies of the Kenyon cells projecting into the Mushroom bodies is visible. C: Unidentified neurons projecting into structures outside of the optic lobes especially the ventral lateral protocerebrum.

Cloning via DNA Assembly

DNA Assembly in a 1:2 ratio of vector to insert with gRNAs of rsh and rut (Q5 and template concentration: 640 pg/µl) and 100ng of pCFD6 BbsI AP (using QuickCIP). Heat-shock (hs) transformation into E. coli (DH5α competent) with 10 µl Assembly Reaction and 100 µl cells.

For Crtl, pCFD6 BbsI AP was wrongly used.
