The long term goal of this study is to identify proteins required for the transition between proliferation and differentiation in the Drosophila ovary, which is a model system for studying stem cells and tumor formation. To meet this objective, gene trap technology was used, which involves the insertion of green fluorescence protein (GFP) via a P element transposon called P{GFP}. When P{GFP} is inserted into an intron, it ̳traps' the protein...
