Viability of DA1 and DA2B transgenic female flies. Lifespans of a homozygotes and b heterozygotes (transgene/+) were determined for pwMhc2 control, F437I, and A234T transgenic lines. The percentage of surviving flies from each line was recorded every other day and flies were transferred into fresh vials every 3 days. The major observation is that A234T homozygotes are dramatically less viable compared to F437I homozygotes and pwMhc2 controls
