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).

dri transcripts are expressed in a dynamic pattern during embryogenesis. They are distributed throughout the embryo during syncytial cleavage stages and at cellularization, are distributed in broad bands at the termini and in the center of the embryo. At germ band extension, the transcripts are found predominantly in the mesoderm and at later stages, are detected in the pharyngeal muscles, the amnioserosa, and in a distinct row of cells in the hindgut. They are also observed in the ring gland, in the clypeolabrum, in a ring of cells around the hindgut-midgut junction, and in several cells in each brain lobe. Ventrally, expression is observed in the salivary ducts, in a ring of cells at the foregut-midgut junction and in a repeated pattern in the CNS.

dri protein is expressed in a dynamic pattern during embryogenesis. It is distributed evenly in syncytial nuclei and in contrast to the RNA is also uniformly distributed in late blastoderm embryos. At germ band extension, dri protein is found predominantly in the mesoderm. At later stages, protein is detected in the pharyngeal muscles, the amnioserosa, and in a distinct row of cells in the hindgut. It is also observed in the ring gland, clypeolabrum, a ring of cells around the hindgut-midgut junction, and several cells in each brain lobe. Ventrally, expression is observed in the salivary ducts, a ring of cells at the foregut-midgut junction and in a repeated pattern in the CNS.

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.
polyclonal
retn is required for positioning of the longitudinal glia in the embryonic central nervous system.
retn is essential for anterior-posterior patterning and for muscle development in the embryo.
Identification: Enhancer trap expression pattern survey for loci expressed in the ring gland.
retn has been cloned and sequenced, and its expression pattern has been analysed.
Identified in a screen for clones which bind an en homeodomain binding site.
Mutations at the retn locus cause defects in midoogenesis.
