Females that overexpress mir-34 and mir-92b lay 34% and 37% fewer eggs after mating, whereas females that overexpress mir-286 and mir-988 lay 16% and 33% more eggs than controls (Figure  7).

Mating causes a reduction in expression of mir-34, mir-92b and mir-988 and an increase in expression of mir-286 (Figure  3; Additional file 4).

To test the connectivity of the computational networks (Figures  4, 5 and 6) and evaluate causality, we overexpressed six miRNAs for which overexpression lines were available (mir-281-1, mir-286, mir-34, mir-92b, mir-310 and mir-988) using the binary GAL4-UAS expression system [38] under a universal ubiquitin promoter.

Number of eggs laid by five young mated females over 18 hours between control and mir-286, mir-34, mir-92b and mir-988 overexpression lines.

To assess causality between post-mating modulation of miRNA expression and oviposition, we measured egg laying after mating by control females and females overexpressing mir-286, mir-34, mir-92b, or mir-988.

We obtained UAS-mir-281-1, UAS-mir-286, UAS-mir-34, UAS-mir-92b, UAS-mir-988, mir-310 and the co-isogenic control lines from the Bloomington Stock Center.
