The role of the NK-homeobox gene slouch (S59) in somatic muscle patterning.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Oct 1999

Knirr S, Azpiazu N, Frasch M

Abstract excerpt

In the Drosophila embryo, a distinct class of myoblasts, designated as muscle founders, prefigures the mature pattern of somatic body wall muscles. Each founder cell appears to be instrumental in generating a single larval muscle with a defined identity. The NK homeobox gene S59 was the first of a growing number of proposed 'identity genes' that have been found to be expressed in stereotyped patterns in specific...
