Additional file 18: Fig. S10. D. melanogaster, D. simulans and D. mauritiana otd-APRE7-8 enhancer activity in 3rd instar larvae eye imaginal discs. (a) D. melanogaster, D. simulans and D. mauritiana otd-APRE7-8 3rd instar larvae eye imaginal discs immunostained with anti-Elav antibody to visualise the progression of ommatidia maturation as proxy for the developmental time. (b) Plot showing the number of GFP-positive ommatidia rows (x-axis) activated by otd-APRE7-8 at different developmental time points (y-axis, developmental points inferred by number of ommatidia rows) for both species. (c) Violin plots showing the distance between MF and the first row of otd-APRE7-8 activity. D. mauritiana otd-APRE7-8 is active earlier during the differentiation of ommatidia.
