Abstract excerpt
The decapentaplegic (dpp) gene of Drosophila melanogaster encodes a growth factor that belongs to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily and that plays a central role in multiple cell-cell signaling events throughout development. Through genetic screens we are seeking to ident...
