Subcellular localization of transcripts in Drosophila photoreceptor neurons: chaoptic mutants have an aberrant distribution.
Genes & development - 1 May 1990
Pollock J A, Ellisman M H, Benzer S
Abstract excerpt
Photoreceptor neurons in the Drosophila retina are long (100 mu) and narrow, providing a system for the study of the intracellular distribution of transcripts and proteins. The chaoptic gene is expressed exclusively in photoreceptor neurons, and mutations of the gene result in reduced development...
