The editors in consultation with the Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center have decided to do this for several reasons. The special issue will provide a mechanism for laboratories to publish their fly strains well before reporting the outcomes of long-term experiments. In addition, the issue will provide readers with thorough documentation of important genetic reagents that will be centrally accessible through FlyBase. Our experience with previous special issues (February 2000 and 2002) suggests that this Special GAL4/UAS Fly Strain Issue of genesis will facilitate conditional genetic research in the fly community. Author Instructions The manuscript should be written in the style of a correspondence with no abstract or sections. The discussion should be minimal. The length will be a maximum of 2000 words excluding references. Methods will be detailed but succinct and can be placed in figure legends. References should not be excessive. GAL4 lines Provide detailed information about the engineered construct or enhancer trap used to generate the line. GAL4 driven expression must be documented using a visible cellular marker, for example UAS-lacZ, etc. GAL4 driven expression must be documented during embryogenesis, in the 3rd instar larvae, and the adult ovary and testis. GAL4 lines should be assessed using a deleterious UAS line (e.g. UAS-ricin/DTA) to determine stage of lethality. UAS lines Provide detailed information about the engineered construct or enhancer trap used to generate the line. Experimental evidence of GAL4 driven expression must be documented which may include: rescue of loss-of-function phenotype, ectopic expression phenotype, or molecular evidence of expression. Other information Provide genetic background for each line. Minimally, the author should provide the identity of the chromosome bearing the insertion. However, more precise mapping is recommended. Phenotypes caused by the insertions should be described. Nomenclature Nomenclature of constructs and insertions should conform to standard FlyBase nomenclature. Nomenclature guidelines are described in detail at http://flybase.bio.indiana.edu/docs/nomenclature/lk/nomenclature.html. Reference formats can be obtained through the genesis website at http://www.interscience.wiley.com/jpages/0192-253X/authors.html. There will be one page of free color.
