Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Searching for structural proteins involved in spermatogenesis of Drosophila, we found a novel myosin isoform in the testis of Drosophila hydei and D. melanogaster. The transcript encoding this isoform, which we called ‘minor-myosin’, initiates within the intron between exons 12 and 13 of the muscle myosin heavy chain (mMHC) gene. Minor-myosin contains a common myosin tail but no ordinary myosin head domain. Instead, it has a short N-terminal domain which displays similarity with the N-termini of certain myosin light chain proteins. Western blots with male germ line mutants showed that the novel mMHC isoform is synthesized in the male germ cells, mainly postmeiotically. However, minor-myosin is not testis-specific, as it is expressed at a low level in the fly carcasses. The possible functions of the myosin isoform in the male germ line are discussed.
