- Reasons for recommending:
The authors developed new vectors and methodologies to generate a large collection of GAL4 drivers in a cost effective, reproducible, and efficient manner. The modularity and precision of the system will not only allow researchers to probe various aspects of Drosophila biology but also help dissect the cis-regulatory grammar involved in gene regulation.
