Methods
Strain production
Lines were generated by transposition of P{GawB} element of Brand and Perrimon (1993), mapped and balanced according to the protocol by Yoshihara and Ito (2000). Some of the lines were balanced directly with strains containing second and third chromosome balancers.
Gal4 expression analyses
Embryo: Males of each strain were crossed to w; UAS-gfpnlacZ UAS-gfp[S65T] females and embryos were collected and fixed according to the method by Hummel et al. (Dev. Genes & Evol. 207: 131-135). Embryos were stained with anti-beta galactosidase monoclonal antibody and ABC elite kit and mounted in aqueous mountant (Mowiol) for microscopic observation.
Larva: Dissected larvae were fixed and stained for beta galactosidase activity with X-gal. Stained imaginal discs were mounted for microscopic observation. Live larvae were also observed directly under dissecting GFP microscope (Leika).
Adult: Some of adult flies were observed under dissecting GFP microscope.

Blast Search, Mapping and Database Construction
Blast search was performed by the program package Dynaclust lite TM against Release 1.0 Cerela/BDGP sequence. Database was constructed by Sybase platform.
