  2. ± Unassigned in Boutros et al. (2004) [43]
  3. § Lethal in vivo (dsRNA injected into embryo) (flybase)
  4. ¶ Tbp-1 was included as culture control – no viability effects following dsRNA knockdown in Drosophila culture [43]; sop (string of perls) knockdown in vitro was not considered significant in the Drosophila study. Both targets were included in this study as putative negative controls
