Table 1. Summary of the advantages and disadvantages of Switch transgenes.

Comparison of the relative switching efficiencies and logistical considerations for experimental design using the different Switch transgene lines described.

Line	Advantages	Disadvantages
ubi:Switch	Second highest recombination efficiency	Cannot be combined with other EGFP lines
	No need for heat-shock	Latency in reporter expression
ubi:delta-EGFP	Can be combined with other EGFP lines	No screening marker
	Same recombination efficiency as ubi:Switch	Latency in reporter expression
hsp70l:Switch	Highest recombination efficiency	Need to heat-shock
	Easy screening marker cryaa:Venus
	Rapid transgene expression after heat-shock
actb2:BFP-DsRed	Can be combined with other EGFP lines	Low recombination efficiency
actb2:Stop-DsRed	Can be combined with other EGFP lines	Low recombination efficiency
		No screening marker
		Multiple integrations in current generation
