Project description:Transcriptional profiling comparing adult wild-type indirect flight muscle (IFM) with wild-type leg muscle and salm RNAi IFM (Mef2-GAL4, UASsalmIR). We used 2 different salm hairpin constructs for the experiments, TF3029 and TF101052, both available from the VDRC Drosophila stock centre.

We used 2 different salm hairpin constructs for the experiments, TF3029 and TF101052, both available from the VDRC Drosophila stock centre. Experiments were done in biological duplicates + 1 technical replicate (1 labeled sample was hybridized on a different array)
Project description:Expression profiling of IFMs from 1-2 day old adult male flies of 3 genotypes: Canton-S, IFM-specific actin null (Act88FKM88) and IFM-specific myosin null (Mhc7). Results provide insight into how muscles respond to the absence of major scaffold proteins, and whether these transcriptional responses are filament-specific or generic to the tissue.
