Adh
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 JBrowse 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.
The phylogenetic relationships and divergence times of 39 drosophilid species have been studied by using the coding region of the Adh gene.
Adh activity in 71 Drosophila species is assayed to determine if the protein plays a key role in the adaptation of species to substrates undergoing alcoholic fermentation.
A construct carrying Dore\Adh was injected into D.melanogaster embryos. The tissue specific expression of the D.orena gene is similar to D.melanogaster but at lower levels. The Adh genes share conserved DNAse protected sequences with respect to position and sequence. Upstream regions show a mosaic of similar and dissimilar sequences.
