Abstract excerpt
In the Drosophila ovary, the Bicaudal-D (Bic-D) gene is required for the differentiation of one of 16 interconnected cystocyte sister cells into an oocyte. A new class of Bic-Dnull alleles reveals a novel requirement for Bic-D for zygotic viability. In the germ line, the null mutations show that developmental processes that take place in germarial region 1, even those that create asymmetry, are independent of...
