Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila extramacrochaetae (emc) locus participates in sensory organ patterning by antagonizing, in a mechanistically unknown way, the neurogenic activity of the achaete-scute complex (AS-C). Our cloning of emc DNA and molecular mapping of emc mutations have identified a transcription unit...
