Abstract excerpt

We describe the cloning, expression and phenotypic characterisation of repo, a gene from Drosophila melanogaster that is essential for the differentiation and maintenance of glia function. It is not, however, required for the initial determination of glial cells. In the embryo, the gene, which encodes a homeodomain protein, is expressed exclusively in all developing glia and closely related cells in both the...
