We have identified a novel pair rule gene in Drosophila, odd Oz (odz). Every odd-numbered body segment is deleted in odz mutant embryos. The odz gene product is strongly expressed in the embryonic central nervous system and heart, and both of these tissues are malformed in mutant embryos. Odz rep...
