Abstract
We used the maternal-Gal4 shRNA system to knock down expression of dKDM5/lid in Drosophila melanogaster embryos, and analyzed the efficacy of the knockdown by qRT-PCR. Although average relative expression of lid was significantly lower in knockdown conditions compared to the driver-only control, we observed a wide and overlapping range of relative gene expression between individual control and knockdown embryos.
