Abstract excerpt
An odd family gene drumstick (drm) encodes a zinc finger protein, and is necessary for the development of the small intestine, an anterior domain of the ectodermal hindgut of Drosophila melanogaster. However, mechanisms that specify the small intestine, as well as gene regulatory pathways leading to transcriptional activation of drm, are still unclear. We found that drm is expressed in two different tissues...
