Abstract excerpt
The genes torso (tor) and torso-like (tsl) are two of the Drosophila maternal group genes implicated in a receptor tyrosine kinase signalling pathway that specifies terminal cell fate (reviewed in ref. 3). Loss-of-function mutations in these loci cause an identical phenotype in which pattern elements from the anterior (acron) and posterior (telson) ends have been deleted. We have cloned the tsl gene and...
