Abstract excerpt
In Drosophila, specification of neural identity requires a network of conserved transcription factors, such as the columnar genes for dorsoventral patterning. Here, we analyze the expression and function of the columnar patterning gene muscle specific homeobox (msh) in late embryonic brain development. Expression of msh is observed in all brain neuromeres, including neurons and neuropile glia. Functional analysis...
