RNAi and overexpression screen.

Data tables of quantification of confocal data of RNAi and dpr/DIP overexpression analyses, in four sheets as follows: 1. READ ME: This first sheet is to explain the following four tabs. 2. DIP-α- and DIPδ-GAL4 screen: This sheet contains all genotypes tested in the initial RNAi/overexpressor screen using both DIP-α and DIP-δ as the GAL4 driver. The controls are bolded. N = 5. This sheet contains the following columns: Genotype: Contains an abbreviated genotype, including the GAL4 driver and dpr/DIP knocked-down (RNAi) or overexpressed (UAS). Although not explicitly stated, all genotypes also contained a UAS > stop > GFP.Myr transgene as well as a fruFLP transgene. Temperature Raised: The RNAi crosses were set up at 25°C where the flies were allowed to lay eggs for 2–3 days. Then, the parents were turned into a new vial, and the eggs were raised at 29°C. This was done to ensure that the RNAi was fully functional, as it was found to be less effective at 25°C. All overexpressor flies were raised at 25°C, as noted. Difficulty getting males: This was only an issue with the RNAi crosses at 29°C. Some of these crosses did not produce males at all, or produced far fewer males than females. Of note, these crosses always produced females with ease. Assayed at 16–24 hr: ‘Yes’ in this column indicated that five replicates per sex were dissected and stained as 16–24 hr adults. Assayed at 4–7 days: ‘Yes’ in this column indicated that five replicates per sex were dissected and stained as 4- to 7-day adults. Phenotype: Any phenotype observed when comparing the RNAi with its respective control. Notes: Relevant notes. 3.DIP-α-GAL4; DIP-ε-RNAi: Of all the genotypes tested, this was the only one to show a robust phenotype. The czi files were scored blind for conditions with and without tub>GAL80>. n = 20. A table summarizing the statistics is to the right of the raw data. See below for a more detailed description of how these phenotypes were scored. 4. UAS DIP-α screen: Although not explicitly stated, all genotypes also contained a UAS > stop > GFP.Myr transgene as well as a fruFLP transgene. Each of the 7 GAL4s of interest were first crossed to UAS DIP-alpha (experimental) and Canton S (white) (control) with n = 5. The GAL4 stock was crossed to Canton S (white) (w;cs) as a control to eliminate balancers. The controls are bolded in this data sheet. 3 GAL4 drivers that showed potential phenotypes upon overexpressing DIP-alpha were identified for further study (DIP-β, DIP-δ, and DIP-ε). These genotypes were retested with an n = 15 and with tub>GAL80>. Upon further analysis, no robust phenotypes were observed and as a result, the images were not scored.
