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.
The "roX1 chromatin entry site" (roX1-CES) is a region within the roX1 gene that is able to recruit the MSL complex. A 217bp fragment is sufficient for recruitment and spreading of the MSL complex along the flanking chromatin. This short element is sufficient to activate MSL spreading in the absence of active roX1 transcription.
The roX1 gene contains sequences that seem to provide an entry site for the MSL complex to recognize the X chromosome. This site is termed the "roX1 chromatin entry site" (roX1-CES). The roX1-CES provides a nucleation site for extensive spreading (in cis or trans) of the complex into flanking chromatin, even when moved to an autosome.
