Abstract excerpt

Our analysis demonstrates that snf is a positive regulator of Sex-lethal in both the germline and the soma. In the germline, unregulated expression of Sex-lethal can bypass the requirement for snf+ gene function, implying that snf is required for Sex-lethal activity in the germline. This conclusi...
