Conserved function of the Krüppel gap gene in the blowfly Lucilia sericata, despite anterior shift of expression.

Insect molecular biology - 1 Apr 2011

Blechert O, Douglas D, Baumgartner S

Abstract excerpt

To determine whether expression patterns of segmentation genes found in Drosophila melanogaster can be scaled to pattern larger insects, we studied the expression of the Krüppel (Kr) gene in the blowfly Lucilia sericata. Compared with Drosophila Kr, L. sericata Kr showed an unexpected 10% shift of expression towards the anterior pole. Furthermore, expression domains not found in D. melanogaster were present at...
