Figure 2—figure supplement 1
Schematic of MARCM-based mosaic analysis.

(A) Schematic depicting heatshock flp induction of single-cell or neuroblast MARCM clones. MARCM can be used to generate GFP-labeled single-cell or neuroblast clones in PNs. All clones were induced by heat shock applied to newly hatched larvae (0–24 hr after larval hatching), so our analyses are primarily restricted to the adPNs and DL1-PN single-cell clones. (B) Schematic of MARCM analysis. A mutant (Rab5, Rab7, or Rab11) allele is placed on a chromosome arm in trans to the chromosome arm with a GAL80 transgene. Heterozygous cells express GAL80, which represses GAL4 activity and thus inhibits GFP expression in these cells. Following, FLP-mediated mitotic recombination and X-segregation (bottom row) one of the daughter cells becomes homozygous for the mutant allele and loses the GAL80 transgene. Thus, homozygous mutant cells will be labeled with membrane-bound GFP (and can also express any UAS-based rescue transgene). (C) Quantification of adPN mistargeting in additional non-adPN glomeruli. Fisher’s exact test.
