Abstract excerpt
Each Drosophila segment exhibits specific patterns of epidermal cells, muscles, and neurons. Mutations in the homeotic genes of the bithorax-complex cause transformations of these patterns. Whereas abundant information exists concerning homeotic transformation of epidermis, transformations of muscles and motor neurons have been largely unexplored. An important indication of neuromuscular transformation in a...
