Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila oogenesis system provides an excellent model to study the development of epithelial tissues. Here, we report the first genome-scale in vivo RNA interference (RNAi) screen for genes controlling epithelial development. By directly analysing cell and tissue architecture we identified 1125 genes, which we assigned to seven different functions in epithelial formation and homeostasis. We validated the...
