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.
A biochemical phylogeny of the subgenus Sophophora has been constructed using RNA sequencing to assess the relationship among species. Results show that the branching of willistoni and saltans groups of the subgenus is very ancient and probably predates that of the subgenus Drosophila. The other groups and subgroups are clustered into three main lineages: the melanogaster and oriental subgroups, the montium subgroup and the ananassae subgroup of melanogaster (with the fima and obscura groups).
