Abstract excerpt
The anteroposterior axis of Drosophila is defined during oogenesis, when the polarisation of the oocyte microtubule cytoskeleton directs the localisation of bicoid and oskar mRNAs to the anterior and posterior poles, respectively. Although maternal-effect lethal and female-sterile screens have identified many mutants that disrupt these processes, these screens could not recover mutations in essential genes. Here...
