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).
Comment: ubiquitous expression
Comment: maternally deposited
abs transcripts are expressed at a very low level throughout development and in all tissues.

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.
Area matching Drosophila EST AA201957.
abs has a suggested role in mRNA splicing or translational control.
abs is essential for the directed and fasciculated early outgrowth of the Bolwig's nerve, as well as for navigation at later stages.
There is a widespread requirement for abs during post-transcriptional gene expression. In direction of increasing cytology: abs+ Gel+ hkb? tub?
abs is essential for survival at all stages throughout the life cycle.
Mutants show specific defects in many developmental processes, including cell shape changes, localisation of RNA and apoptosis.
Isolated during a screen for mutations that disrupt Bolwig's organ or Bolwig's nerve development.
