Abstract excerpt
Germline stem cells located at the anterior tip of the adult Drosophila melanogaster ovary are critical to the continuous production of mature eggs. Following germline stem cell division, one daughter cell remains a stem cell, while the other becomes a cystoblast committed to differentiation. In this study it was shown that mutations in the putative transcription factor stonewall (stwl) disrupted the maintenance...
