Expression data from Drosophila female or male genital discs at different time points during morphogenesis

ABSTRACT: The Drosophila genitalia develop from an imaginal disc that is patterned during the larval period and undergoes morphogenesis during the pupal period. Although the genetic hierarchy that controls sexual identity in Drosophila is well characterized, the downstream genes that effect sexually dimorphic development of the genitalia are largely unknown. We used microarrays to profile gene expression in female and male genital imaginal discs at three time points during development: late third-instar larvae (L3), pupae approximately 6 hours after puparium formation (P6) and pupae approximately 20 hours after puparium formation (P20). We identified genes that are sex-differentially expressed in the developing genital disc, including three genes encoding transcription factors that are expressed in
