DhDhc7(Y), Threads, A
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 lampbrush loops 'Threads' and the 'DhDhc7(Y)' gene are one and the same transcription unit. The giant size of the Dhyd\thread gene as well as its appearance as a giant lampbrush loop are merely the result of transcription of huge clusters of satellite DNA within some of its 20 introns.
Identification: PCR screen for Dynein heavy chain genes.
Alterations in the morphology of the Threads lampbrush loops are faithful indicators of lareg deletions within the Dhyd\thread transcription unit.
Y chromosome lampbrush loop genes.
