AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

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).
dsf expression is detected at all stages on northern blots. In situ hybridization to cryostat sections from larvae, pupae, and pharate adults shows expression restricted to a small number of neurons in the brain. In larvae, three labelled groups of cells are found in the anterior region of the brain. Weak expression was also observed in the salivary gland. In pupae, expression is detected in several small groups of cells in the anterior regions of the protocerebrum. In pharate adults, only a few labelled cells are found. About 20 large neurons are located close to the antennal lobe and lateral protocerebral neuropil. A cluster of about 10 cells is found just below the chemosensory region of the antennal lobe and near the mechanosensory region of the antennal lobe and subesophageal neuropils. In some cases a small number of expressing cells are found in the dorsal-most regions of the brain along the midline.

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.
