Identification of Aedes aegypti cis-regulatory elements that promote gene expression in olfactory receptor neurons of distantly related dipteran insects

Table 1 FAIRE DNA elements assessed in D. melanogaster reporter assays

^aThe FAIRE DNA sequences shown [17] were assessed for their ability to drive EGFP expression in D. melanogaster reporter assays
^bThe flanking genes (gene number and name) and transcription start sites (TSSs) of the flanking genes are noted. Sequences correspond to A. aegypti scaffolds reference v.4, which was used in the FAIRE-seq investigation [17]. A subset of these elements (CREs associated with orco, Or1, Or8 and fru) were used for subsequent generation of A. aegypti transgenic strains
^cDrosophila reporter lines were initially described in Behura et al. [17] and are characterized in further detail in the present investigation
