Rotation of photoreceptor clusters in the developing Drosophila eye requires the nemo gene.

Cell - 15 Jul 1994

Choi K W, Benzer S

Abstract excerpt

The Drosophila eye consists of a reiterative hexagonal array of photoreceptor cell clusters, the ommatidia. During normal morphogenesis, the clusters in the dorsal or ventral halves of the disc rotate 90 degrees in opposite directions, forming mirror images across a dorsoventral equator. In the mutant nemo (nmo), there is an initial turning of approximately 45 degrees, but further rotation is blocked. Genetic...
