Previous studies of Drosophila melanogaster have shown that the expression of X-linked, testis-specific reporter genes is suppressed in the male germline. However, it is not known whether this phenomenon is restricted to testis-expressed genes or if it is a more general property of genes with tissue-specific expression, which are also underrepresented on the X chromosome. To test this, we compared the expression of three tissue-specific reporter genes (ovary, accessory gland and Malpighian tubule) inserted at various autosomal and X-chromosomal locations. In contrast to testis-specific reporter genes, we found no reduction of X-linked expression in any of the other tissues. In accessory gland and Malpighian tubule, we detected higher expression of the X-linked reporter genes, which suggests that they are at least partially dosage compensated. We found no difference in the tissue-specificity of X-linked and autosomal reporter genes. These findings indicate that, in general, the X chromosome is not a detrimental environment for tissue-specific gene expression and that the suppression of X-linked expression is limited to the male germline."}],"year":"2017","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.02f6r","open_access":"1"}],"month":"02","author":[{"first_name":"Eliza","full_name":"Argyridou, Eliza","last_name":"Argyridou"},{"first_name":"Ann K","last_name":"Huylmans","full_name":"Huylmans, Ann K","id":"4C0A3874-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0001-8871-4961"},{"full_name":"Königer, Annabella","last_name":"Königer","first_name":"Annabella"},{"first_name":"John","full_name":"Parsch, John","last_name":"Parsch"}],"date_updated":"2023-09-22T09:41:20Z","title":"Data from: X-linkage is not a general inhibitor of tissue-specific gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster","doi":"10.5061/dryad.02f6r","_id":"9861","article_processing_charge":"No","date_published":"2017-02-14T00:00:00Z","day":"14","date_created":"2021-08-10T08:12:52Z","citation":{"ama":"Argyridou E, Huylmans AK, Königer A, Parsch J.
