Abstract excerpt
The loss of cut activity in Drosophila results in the transformation of the neurons and support cells of external sensory (es) organs into those of chordotonal (ch) organs. The cut locus encodes a homeo domain-containing protein, which is expressed in the cells of es, but not in ch, organs. We sh...
