During embryogenesis Drosophila pole cells, like germ cells in many other vertebrates and invertebrates, actively migrate before assembling into the gonad. Five separate steps can be distinguished: an initial passive displacement of the germ cells by gastrulation movements, an amoeboid migratory phase during which the pole cells pass through the endoderm, migration on endoderm toward mesoderm, separation into two...
