Abstract excerpt
The neurogenic loci of Drosophila are required for proper partitioning of ectodermal cells into epidermal versus neural lineages. The loci appear to encode components of a developmental pathway involving cellular communication. In an effort to understand the role of the neurogenic locus mastermind in these processes, we have characterized its expression and sequence. The locus produces a number of transcripts...
