Multiphase exon postulated: this gene shares a region of coding sequence with an overlapping gene, but different reading frames are utilized in the overlapping coding region.
The group(s) of polypeptides indicated below share identical sequence to each other.

Please Note FlyBase no longer curates genomic clone accessions so this list may not be complete
Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see GBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.
Complete absence of the mei-218 gene product reduces, but does not eliminate, meiotic crossing over.
nod protein persists on the meiotic chromosomes until the completion of meiosis.
mei-218 mutants show a failure of metaphase arrest similar to that observed for the All-Compound genotype.
mei-218 gene product inhibits mutagenesis at early stages of oogenesis.
