Abstract excerpt
During Drosophila oogenesis, nurse cells undergo changes in chromosomal morphology, first from the polytenic form to a transient condensed phase known as the five-blob configuration, then into a diffuse polytenic-polyploid state for the remainder of oogenesis. The mechanism by which nurse-cell chromosome dispersal is regulated remains elusive. Mutations in several genes, including the heterogeneous...
