Genetic analysis of the Drosophila single-minded gene reveals a central nervous system influence on muscle development.

Abstract excerpt

The Drosophila single-minded gene is expressed in the embryonic central nervous system midline cells and plays a critical role in central nervous system development. Additional expression of single-minded is found in a subset of ventral muscle precursor cells. Null mutations of single-minded result in an alteration of the ventral oblique muscles, such that muscle fibers form inside the embryo above the central...
