Abstract excerpt
The compound eye of Drosophila develops from a uniform layer of epithelial cells in the eye imaginal disc. One intriguing aspect of eye development is the establishment of the correct number and spacing of the photoreceptor clusters which give rise to the mature ommatidia. Ellipse (Elp) has been implicated as playing a role in this process because the Elp dominant gain of function mutation dramatically reduces...
