Abstract excerpt
Several genes have been identified that affect the specification of unique neuronal identities during development of the Drosophila central nervous system. At least two of these genes, fushi tarazu (ftz) and even-skipped (eve) share a common structural motif, the homoeobox, which encodes a sequen...
