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.
ogre RNA and protein expression during development has been studied.
Genetic and developmental studies have indicated that the wild type function of ogre is crucial for and specific to postembryonic neurogenesis.
Developmental analysis has shown that effect of mutations at the locus are restricted to the developing and adult CNS. The time of ogre gene action is during the early and late larval period.
Original allele (ogre1) recovered on the basis of simple lethality (Niklas and Cline, 1983); viable mutant (ogre2) isolated with respect to inability of adults to orient to vertical line of black-white contrast (Lipshitz and Kankel, 1985); optic lobes generally disorganized, as seen in adults expressing the viable allele, or in late pupae/pharate adults expressing a lethal allele; such lethals (all except ogre2) cause the behavioral and anatomical abnormalities just noted when heterozygous with viable allele; viability associated with one of these heteroallelic types, i.e., ogre1/ogre2 is poor, especially when reared at 18oC (vs 29oC); temperature shift experiments using this combination implies gene action in late larval stage; hemizygosity for lethal alleles causes development to cease in late larval-pupal stages, when parts of CNS appear abnormal (e.g., holes in sections of brain and thoracic ganglia, with severe defects appearing in the optic lobe formation centers); holes in CNS are also seen in 'escapers', e.g., rare adults hemizygous for alleles other than ogre2, or heterozygous for ogre1 and ogre2; mosaic analysis suggests that CNS defects are due to action of this gene in those developing tissues (Lipshitz and Kankel, 1985).
