Results: The combination of Notch activation and scribble mutation (NS) results in mRNA expression changes that, while partly overlapping with Notch only (N), and with scrib mutation only (S), are unique to the combination Overall design: Triplicates of pooled dissected 3rd instar larva wing imaginal discs (60 discs in each pool). All dissections at day 6 after egg laying for the following conditions: wild type (WT), activated Notch (N), polarity deficient (scrib1 mutant, S), activated Notch and polarity deficient (NS)
