Expression differences between inversions and their progenitors in Drosophila melanogaster embryos. Drosophila melanogaster

Inversions have a breakpoint within a "neighbourhood" of embryonically expressed genes and the other breakpoint megabases away. The gene expression neighbourhood is therefore intact in the progenitor but disrupted in the inversion. Overall design: 1 progenitor stock and 1 inversion stock, 4 biological replicates for each, including 2 dye swaps.
