Developmental RT PCR analysis using a probe that detects all isoforms of both achi and vis indicate roughly equal expression through all stages of development. In situ analysis of adult testes detect high achi and/or vis expression in the primary spermatocyte stage, persisting into the meiotic divisions. No expression is detect in the apex.
achi protein is expressed at high levels in the nuclei of spermatocytes, and at low levels at earlier stages. It can thus be used as a marker to identify cells that have advanced from spermatogonial stages into spermatocytes.

Please Note FlyBase no longer curates genomic clone accessions so this list may not be complete
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 GBrowse 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.

'achintya' is a Sanskrit word meaning 'that which is beyond thought and contemplation'.
"achintya" is a Sanskrit word meaning "inconceivable" or "beyond thought", reflecting the initial complexity of the molecular analysis of the locus.
