Abstract excerpt
The protein product of the Drosophila maternal-effect posterior group gene vasa is localized to the posterior pole of the oocyte and is sequestered by the pole cells as they form. It is, however, present at easily detectable levels throughout the oocyte and pre-blastoderm embryo. The protein is p...
