| Abstract |
The Notch (N) signaling pathway plays versatile roles in development and disease of many model organisms (Andersson et al., Development 138, 3593-3612, 2011; Hori et al., J Cell Sci, 126, 2135-2140, 2013). However, studying a role for N in adult tissue of Drosophila melanogaster is challenging, because the gene is located on the X-chromosome. To reduce the expression of N specifically in either the germline or the somatic cells of the adult gonad, we used the CRISPR technology in combination with the UAS/Gal4 expression system. After generation of the flies, gonads were investigated for germline survival. Here, we outline our detailed protocol.
