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).
robo2 transcript is expressed in the embryonic/larval heart at embryonic stage 16 but not in cardiogenic mesoderm at stage 11.
Comment: reference states 0-40 hr APF; expression is lateral to anntennal commissure
robo2 protein is detected in the gonads at embryonic stage 13 and at higher levels at stage 15. It is observed at contact sites between somatic gonadal precursors as well as contact sites between germ cells and somatic gonadal precursors.
At embryonic stages 12-14, robo2 is expressed in the ectodermal domains between the chordotonal organ precursors. During chordotonal organ migration, robo2 is highly expressed in a patch of visceral mesoderm in segments T2 and T3, but is not detected in the abdominal visceral mesoderm. robo2 is strongly expressed in the dendrites of embryonic chordotonal neurons.
robo2 protein is detected in several parts of the tracheal system including the dorsal trunk, transverse connectives, dorsal branch, spiracular branches and ganglionic branches in stage 13 and 14 embryos. No robo2 protein is detected in the lateral trunk or visceral branches. There is an additional stripe of epidemal expression on the dorsal surface near the anterior segment boundaries. No axonal staining is detected in the dorsal sensory neurons or lch5 chrodotonal neurons.

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 lateral positioning of longitudinal axon pathways in the embryo relies primarily on differences in robo gene regulation, not on distinct combinations of the three robo proteins (robo, lea and robo3) as previously thought. However, the unique structural features of robo are required to prevent midline crossing and the unique structural features of lea are required to promote midline crossing.
lea is required in the thoracic visceral mesoderm to prevent migration of neighbouring thoracic chordotonal organs during development so that they remain in a dorsal position in the thorax.
