A D. melanogaster screen identifies A. aegypti CREs that promote gene expression in antennal ORNs. EGFP reporter expression driven by FAIRE DNA sequences flanking the indicated genes (e93 in a, onecut in b, acj6 in c, fru in d, i, and i1, orco in e and e1, Or1 in f and f1, Or8 in g and g1, Or16 in h and h1) was assessed in a total of 40 female and 40 male adult antennae prepared from replicate experiments. EGFP expression patterns ranged from expression in all (e) or many (a- c) antennal ORNs to very specific subsets of ORNs (f-h). Sex-specific EGFP expression was detected in the adult male antenna (d; compare to female antenna in i). Embryonic expression of EGFP was detected in the Or16 reporter line (h1), but not in the orco (e1), Or1 (f1), Or8 (g1) or fru (i1) Drosophila reporter lines. Proximal is oriented upward in a-i, and anterior is oriented upward in e1-i1
