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).
a transcripts are distributed uniformly in the embryo shortly after egg laying. This maternal RNA is rapidly converted to an anterior-posterior gradient. a transcripts are expressed dynamically in the embryo in regions that are about to or in the process of undergoing morphogenetic movements. Zygotic a transcripts are first detected in the posterior midgut primordium, prior to and during invagination. They are detected in the Malpighian tubule primordium prior to evagination of the tubule buds and during evagination and elongation. They are also found in the hindgut, foregut, salivary gland, and trachea after they have formed and while they are elongating. In larvae, a transcripts are expressed in repeating clusters of cells along the morphogenetic furrow.

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.
a may affect eye development by modulating adherens junctions of the developing ommatidia.
Defined by recessive mutations that result in a broad, often bent, wing.
