ORF3
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.
Dsub\gypsy elements lack functional env proteins due to frame-shifting mutations in this region, consequently these elements lack infective ability. This suggests Dsub\gypsy is a degenerate form of insect retrovirus.
