Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila runt gene functions in several developmental pathways during embryogenesis. This gene was initially characterized due to the pivotal role that it plays in the genetic regulatory network that establishes the segmented body pattern. Recently it was found that this X-chromosome-linked gene is one of several dosage-sensitive, X-linked components that is involved in activating the Sex-lethal gene in...
