Abstract excerpt
In a screen for mutations affecting Drosophila eye development, we have identified a gene called fat facets (faf) which is required for cell interactions that prevent particular cells in the developing eye from becoming photoreceptors. Analysis of eyes mosaic for faf+ and faf- cells shows that faf is required in cells near to, but outside, normal developing photoreceptors and also outside of the ectopic...
