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.
Specification of dorsal wing identity requires Dlw+ function. Some trx group genes act as positive regulators of Dlw in the dorsal compartment while some Pc genes act as negative regulators in the ventral compartment. Regulation by trx and Pc may provide heritability of two distinct D-V states, which may provide a mechanism for cell lineage restriction at the compartment boundary. The D-V signalling and pattern specification processes may not be coupled.
Dlw is required for patterning of the dorsal wing compartment.
"Dlw" mutations may be regulatory mutants of the Dr gene; "Dr" gain-of-function mutants contain lesions in the same region as "Dlw" mutants (several kb upstream of the transcription start site), DrΔ68 is lethal in combination with Dlw1, Dlw3 or Dlw4 and the level of Dr mRNA is reduced throughout the wing pouch in Dlw1 mutants (which may account for the loss of function characteristics seen in homozygous Dlw1 mutant clones).
