Abstract excerpt
The correct patterning of muscles in the Drosophila embryo depends on the migration of developing muscles over the ectoderm and on the attachment of these muscles to specific attachment sites. We investigate the mechanisms that are involved in this process and describe experiments that allow a genetic dissection of the role of the ectoderm in muscle migration and attachment. We show that cells along the segmental...
