Hi fly people...

Does anyone know if any work has been done in Drosophila using anti-sense 
RNA constructs to supress or inhibit specific gene expression in transgenic 
flies? And if so... whether these attempts have been successful? Any help 
or references would be appreciated. I have found a lot of literature 
where this approach has been successful in plants, but haven't found 
anything on flies.

..Jamie..
