Abstract excerpt
The specification of the R7 photoreceptor cell fate in the developing eye of Drosophila depends on the local activation of the sevenless (Sev) receptor tyrosine kinase by Boss, a protein expressed on the membrane of the neighbouring R8 cell. Constitutive activation of the Sev receptor results in a dosage-dependent increase in the number of R7 cells per ommatidium. Genetic screens have been used to identify...
