| Gene details (from Flybase) | It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: protein binding; RNA binding. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: posttranscriptional gene silencing; male germ-line stem cell division; negative regulation of transposition, DNA-mediated; pole cell formation; stem cell division; female germ-line stem cell division; chromatin silencing. 27 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: ovariole; egg; ovary; male germline stem cell; spectrosome; testis; nurse cell spectrosome; female germline stem cell; egg chamber; germarium. It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide. Protein features are: Argonaute/Dicer protein, PAZ; Ribonuclease H-like; Stem cell self-renewal protein Piwi. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of very low expression. Peak expression observed within 00-06 hour embryonic stages, in adult female stages. . |
