Nomenclature Genotype Description
D. melanogaster bam heterozygote Females: bam Δ59/+ D. melanogaster with only a single wildtype copy of bam.
Males: bam BG/+
mel-bam-yfp; bam -, or sim-bam-yfp; bam - Females: w; φ{w +, transgene}/+; bam Δ86/bam Δ59 (footnote a) A single copy of a transgene in a D. melanogaster bam null mutant background. See Materials and Methods for description of different bam alleles.
Males: w; φ{w +, transgene}/+; bam Δ86/bam BG
2x mel-bam-yfp; bam -, or2x sim-bam-yfp; bam - Females: w; φ{w +, transgene}, φ{w +, transgene}/+ +; bam Δ86/bam Δ59 Two copies of a transgene in a D. melanogaster bam null background.
2x sim-bam-yfp; bam -/+ Females: w; φ{w +, transgene}, φ{w +, transgene}/+ +; bam Δ59/+ Two copies of sim-bam-yfp in a D. melanogaster bam heterozygous background. These flies are siblings of 2x sim-bam-yfp; bam - flies.
bam-α; bam - Females: w; P{ry+, bam-α},bam Δ86 /bam Δ59 A single copy of a bam transgene [23] in a bam null background.
Males: w; P{ry+, bam-α},bam Δ86 /bam BG

a All experiments in females designated as mel-bam-yfp; bam - were performed with this genotype. As an additional control mel-bam-yfp; bam Δ86/bam BG (full genotype w; φ{w +, mel-bam-yfp}/+; bam Δ86/bam BG) was assayed for expression level in females in Fig 2A.
