I was wondering if anyone out there has a good sense of how much 
difference copy number might make when expressing GFP in flies. Are 
homozygotes significantly brighter than heterozygotes? Has anyone tried 
multiple copies?  I'm especially interested in knowing about mid to late 
embryonic stages.

Thanks,
Marc
