Model: lme(relative_ADH_activity ∼ construct, random = list(one1 = pdIdent(∼day-1), one2 = pdIdent(∼line-1)), weights = varIdent(form=∼1|construct)). Units for response variables are as follows: ADH activity, ΔAbs340 per minute per milligram of protein; Adh mRNA, level relative to control gene RP49, i.e., 2^−(Adh Cq – RP49 Cq); β-galactosidase activity, ΔAbs574 per hour * 1,000. “Estimate” denotes the estimate of the response variable using standard R style, such that (Intercept) refers to the mean of the first factor level (always set to Single) and the subsequent values (e.g., Dup) are the mean of the next factor level minus the intercept. For models with no intercept, means are shown. These parameter estimates were used to compute the planned t tests. Model formulas are given in nlme style. Experiments with a vial random effect (vial nested within line and day) measured multiple fly homogenates per culture vial; experiments without this term measured a single homogenate per vial. “Total samples” is often less than the product of the grouping factors due to (i) in some experiments, not all lines were available to measure on each day replicate, or (ii) occasional vials not producing flies.
