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.
Studies of the effect of genetic and environmental factors on the obk phenotype suggest that a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors in the regulation of morphogenetic fields is responsible for ample natural variation in the expressivity of adult phenotypes.
The obk1 mutation has been used to show that bi- or polyramous structures can be produced in a unirame arthropod and that this phenotype can be generated in several different genotypes.
obk mutants show striking deformations of their head structures, namely, duplications of their antennae, ocelli, and maxillary palps. Observing third instar larvae eye imaginal discs, obk mutants were seen to have notably enlarged antennal regions of their eye-antennal imaginal discs, and duplication of the concentric circles indicating duplication of the antennae.
