High impact information on msopa

  • The Dromsopa opa repeat codes for the usual stretch of poly(glutamine) interrupted by histidine residues [1].
  • The Dromsopa gene has no other identity with genes currently in the databases, once the opa repeat is excluded [1].
  • The possibility that the Dromsopa gene is a male specific regulatory factor is under investigation as is its precise location within the abdomen, such as in germ line tissue [1].
