a

Based on closest D. melanogaster gene; assignments as per FlyBase (Thurmond et al., 2019)

b

Anopheles gambiae PEST P4 coordinates

c

Based on FlyBase (Thurmond et al., 2019) gene report

d

Observed expression is broadly consistent with that of putative target gene. Y, yes; N, no; U, unable to determine (target gene expression is unknown or ubiquitous, or reporter gene expression is confounded with vector-only expression).

e

Observed expression is consistent with expectation based on training set. Y, yes; N, no; U, unable to determine
