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).

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.
Sequence comparison of I-element\RTase constructs reveals that a 552bp segment, located in a central region of I-element\RTase is absent in all mutants exhibiting a Loc- phenotype.
In vitro and in vivo analysis of I-element\RTase translation reveals that a bicistronic RNA homologous to the I-element enables I-element\RTase (ORF2) translation in vivo, strengthening the idea that the full length I-element RNA is not only the intermediate for transposition but also the messenger required for synthesis of the polypeptides catalysing this process.
