Abdomen of flies

Caption

The images show the abdomen of flies in which a specific enhancer region has been modified. Depending on how much and which part of the region is modified, different areas of the pigment pattern change. This shows that the region contains several non-modular enhancers (blue = strong gene expression; red = weak gene expression).
