Abstract excerpt
rhomboid (rho) belongs to a group of four genes involved in the elaboration of positional information at a ventrolateral level in the Drosophila embryo. Mutations at any of these four loci also lead to a variety of other phenotypes, including reduction in the number of stretch receptor organs (chordotonal organs) in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). We have cloned rho with the aid of a lacZ-bearing P-element...
