Interactions between the soma and the germline are a conserved feature of spermatogenesis throughout the animal kingdom. In this report, we find that the transcription factors eyes absent (eya) and sine oculis (so), previously shown to play major roles during eye development [Cell 91 (1997), 881] are each required in the somatic cyst cells of the testis for proper Drosophila spermatocyte development. eya mutant...
