Abstract excerpt
The steroid hormone ecdysone directly induces a small set of early genes, visible as puffs in the larval salivary gland polytene chromosomes, as it signals the onset of Drosophila metamorphorsis. The products of these genes appear to function as regulators that both repress their own expression a...
