Abstract excerpt
During Drosophila ommatidial development, a single cell is selected within the ommatidial cluster to become the R7 photoreceptor neuron. The seven-up gene has been shown to play a role in this process by preventing four other photoreceptor precursors, R3/R4/R1/R6, from adopting the R7 cell fate. The seven-up gene encodes a steroid receptor-like molecule that is expressed only in those four cells that require...
