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."}],"author":[{"last_name":"Argyridou","full_name":"Argyridou, Eliza","first_name":"Eliza"},{"id":"4C0A3874-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Ann K","last_name":"Huylmans","full_name":"Huylmans, Ann K","orcid":"0000-0001-8871-4961"},{"full_name":"Königer, Annabella","last_name":"Königer","first_name":"Annabella"},{"last_name":"Parsch","full_name":"Parsch, John","first_name":"John"}],"publisher":"Nature Publishing Group","intvolume":"       119","year":"2017","date_published":"2017-07-01T00:00:00Z","citation":{"apa":"Argyridou, E., Huylmans, A.
