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).

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.
Ecdysteroid-regulated gene.
Three adjacent segments located within the short region between Sgs4 and Pig1 can account for the switch from Pig1 expression during late second to early third instar to Sgs4 expression at the end of third instar. Germline transformation studies reveal that a 170bp segment acts as an enhancer to direct Sgs4 expression, a 64bp sequence just upstream can modify the temporal specificity of the enhancer so it works throughout the third instar and just further upstream is a repressor element.
Pig1 was molecularly characterized by the use of cDNA isolation and sequencing. The gene is devoid of introns and can differentially use two alternative 3' and 5' ends.
The br wild type gene product, which is necessary for the activation of intermoult glue genes, is necessary for the inactivation of the pre-moult genes.
