Identification of genes affecting wing patterning through a loss-of-function mutagenesis screen and characterization of med15 function during wing development.

Abstract excerpt

The development of the Drosophila melanogaster wing depends on the correct regulation of cell survival, growth, proliferation, differentiation, and pattern formation. These processes, and the genes controlling then, are common to the development of epithelia in many different organisms. To identify additional genes contributing to wing development we have carried out a genetic screen in mosaic wings carrying...
