The lines injected were homozygous for both an attP site and a φ C31 integrase construct. G0 adults (male and females) obtained after injection were individually crossed with y w animals and progeny were screened for white+ expression. Line designations indicate the origin of the integrase constructs and the free attP site (e.g., nos-φ-zh86Fb/attP-zh102D:nos-φC31 construct is located in the attP site of line ZH-attP-86Fb, and the free attP site is derived from line ZH-attP-102D). Because single G0 females generally exhibited a low fertility and transgenesis rate compared with males, in all subsequent transformation experiments two injected females were used for one y w outcross. However, although we still tested females for transgenic frequencies, we present in the Tables 2 and 3 only the transgenic values obtained from G0 males. The percentages indicate the fraction of all the fertile G0 adults that gave white+ offspring.
