Abstract excerpt
During oogenesis in Drosophila, several mRNAs and proteins are localized to discrete regions of the developing oocyte, resulting in a mature oocyte with a well-defined anterior-posterior axis. The product of the swallow (sww) gene is required for the localization of two different mRNAs during oogenesis, bicoid (bcd) and Adducin-like/hu-li tai shao (hts). We initiated a detailed characterization of the phenotypes...
