Abstract excerpt
The first cell fate specification process in the Drosophila embryo, formation of the germline precursors, requires posteriorly localized germ plasm. We have cloned a gene, germ cell-less (gcl), required for germline formation. Posterior localization of the gcl messenger RNA (mRNA) requires the fu...
