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.
4 alleles of blv have been isolated in a screen for mutants with defects in dorsoventral patterning of the eggshell.
The gene is named "bolivar", after a brand of Cuban cigars, due to the mutant eggshell phenotype.
