The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).

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.
New annotation (CR34094) in release 4.3 of the genome annotation.
mt:lrRNA has an essential role in pole cell formation.
Contrary to a previous report (FBrf0072967), localization of mt:lrRNA depends on osk function even at the anterior pole.
Steady state levels of mt:lrRNA decrease as adult Drosophila age, and this change correlates with the shape of the life span curve.
Maternal 16S rRNA localises to the pole region of the embryo.
The mitochondrial large ribosomal RNA gene maps to the mitochondrial DNA, between mt:srRNA and mt:ND1. It has previously been proposed that extra-mitochondrial mtlr-RNA is a component of the functional polar plasm: it induces pole cell formation in UV irradiated embryos (FBrf0049573). mtlr-RNA is enriched in germ plasm and is tightly associated with polar granules. Mutations in seven posterior group genes affects location of extra-mitochondrial mtlr, but alleles of nos have no effect (Ding, Whittaker and Lipschitz, unpublished data), suggesting that mtlr-RNA, like nos RNA, depends on the function of posterior group genes for its localization in the polar plasm.
A mt:lrRNA cDNA has been cloned and sequenced.
During oogenesis RNA from mt:srRNA, mt:lrRNA, mt:ND2, mt:CoI, mt:CoII, mt:CoIII, mt:ND4, mt:ND5 and mt:Cyt-b shows fluctuations in RNA density after stage 9 in follicle and nurse cells.There is a correlation between the mtRNA level and the cell volume and/or the nuclear DNA content suggesting a global extra-mitochondrial, transcriptional control mechanism.
mt:lrRNA RNA has been cloned and sequenced.
