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.
Orgad et al., 2000 (FBrf0128599) describes a male-sterile mutation called 'courtless' ('col' or 'crl') associated with a "ms(2)P[ry+]4" insertion on the second chromosome in cytological band 47D, generated by mobilization of the P{Car20} vector. The gene is cloned as a homolog of yeast ubiquitin conjugating enzyme UBC7, and the published sequence matches the CG4442 annotation. The problem is that CG4442 is on the X chromosome at 14F, meaning the data in FBrf0128599 are conflicting. The most parsimonious explanation is that the original mutant strain harbored two separate insertions: one insertion at 47D (2nd chromosome) that causes male sterility and whose molecular identity is unknown; and a second insertion at 14F (X chromosome) that disrupts the CG4442 gene, encoding a ubiquitin conjugating enzyme. Therefore, as of FB2014_04, a new non-sequence-localized gene at 47D named 'crl'/'courtless' has been created, and CG4442 has been renamed to 'Ubc7'. The associated allelic and phenotypic data has been partitioned appropriately.
