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.
Arrangement and sequence of E(spl) complex genes in D.melanogaster and D.hydei (separated around 60 million years ago) was examined to test whether apparent functional redundancy is reflected in differences in genomic organisation of the related genes: however the E(spl) gene, and the structure of complex are highly conserved, suggesting that each individual gene, as well as the organization of the complex, is of functional importance. Results suggest that the seven basic HLH genes of the E(spl) complex derived from a single ancestral gene before the divergence of the two subgenera Drosophila and Sophophora.
