Abstract excerpt
The combgap locus, first described by C. B. Bridges in 1925, is a gene required for proper anteroposterior pattern formation in the limbs of Drosophila melanogaster. The development of the anteroposterior axis of fly limbs is initiated by hedgehog signaling from cells of the posterior half to cells of the anterior half of the limb primordium. Hedgehog signaling requires the anterior-specific expression of the...
