Abstract excerpt
The commissures of the Drosophila central nervous system (CNS) are formed in close relation to the ventral midline cells, a morphologically distinct set of cells located at the midline of the developing CNS. To analyze the function of these cells during commissure formation, we looked for mutations that result in the absence of commissures. One example of a gene that can give rise to such a phenotype is the...
