Updated sequence information for this Drosophila species is no longer provided by FlyBase. Gene model annotations for this species are now updated and maintained at NCBI, using the gnomon automated annotation pipeline. See the NCBI page ‘Eukaryotic genomes annotated at NCBI’.
The FlyBase BLAST tool will continue to support queries against the reference genome of this species, but not queries against annotated transcripts or proteins. For the current release, there is no JBrowse or GBrowse view of the gene model annotations for this species.
The FlyBase archived release FB2017_05 includes the last NCBI annotation update for this species that was imported into FlyBase. That sequence data can be accessed from archived gene reports, via the archived GBrowse tool, and via archived bulk-data downloads.
Gld
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 frequency distribution of "silent" DNA polymorphisms has been studied in a number of D.simulans and D.pseudoobscura.pseudoobscura genes.
Interspecific P-element-mediated gene transformation is used to assess possible cis- and trans-genetic differences in the expression of Gld and Dpse\Gld. Results suggest the 5' half of Dpse\Gld contains the necessary cis-elements to provide the unique expression in the ejaculatory bulb and paraovaria. Interspecific variation in adult Gld expression pattern is studied.
D.melanogaster Gld, Dpse\Gld and Dvir\Gld have been cloned and sequenced and compared with each other. The exon/intron structure is conserved in the three species.
