Abstract

A general, non‐invasive method to trace morphogenesis in living Drosophila was developed. To label specific cells, green fluorescence protein (GFP) of jellyfish Aequorea victoria was expressed by the Ga14‐UAS system. Green‐fluorescence from GFP fused to the nuclear localization signal was detectable in polytene larval tissue, but not in diploid tissue. Further fusion to bacterial β‐galactosidase produced GFPN‐lacZ, which fluoresced brightly in several diploid larval and embryonic tissues. GFPN‐lacZ was used to trace dynamic cell movement during the formation of the embryonic tracheal system. These results indicate that GFPN‐lacZ can be used to mark specific cells to study cell movement and gene expression in living animals.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
