Drosophila Sequoia Gene Allele Axon Guidance Phenotypes

Figshare hosts a dataset summarizing axon guidance phenotypes for five mutant alleles of the Drosophila melanogaster sequoia gene. The data, provided in an XLS file, documents defects in central nervous system organization, motor axon outgrowth, and neuronal morphology linked to specific molecular lesions.

Use Cases

• Compare axon guidance and CNS organization phenotypes across the five specific seq alleles (GA168, C022, C3101, Z1241, H156).
• Analyze correlations between identified molecular lesions in seq alleles and resulting defects in motor axon outgrowth.
• Investigate the link between neuronal differentiation data and subsequent axonal morphogenesis outcomes for sequoia mutants.

Strengths

• Focuses on five specific sequoia gene alleles with identified molecular lesions for two.
• Data is derived from a mutagenesis screen targeting defects in dendrite elaboration and axon guidance.
• Released under a permissive CC BY 4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small at 9.5 KB, indicating limited scope and likely a summary table rather than raw experimental data.
• No row or column counts are provided, making the data structure and volume unclear.
• Sample data is unavailable, preventing assessment of data format and completeness prior to download.
