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).

Developmental RT PCR analysis using a probe that detects all isoforms of both achi and vis indicate roughly equal expression through all stages of development. In situ analysis of adult testes detect high achi and/or vis expression in the primary spermatocyte stage, persisting into the meiotic divisions. No expression is detect in the apex.

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.

'vismay' is a Hindi word meaning 'surprise'.
"vismay" is Hindi for "surprise" - reflecting the surprise of the investigators upon discovering a tandem duplication in the genome which was the basis of the confusion surrounding the molecular analysis of achi.
