Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the tudor locus of Drosophila affect two distinct determinative processes in embryogenesis; segmentation of the abdomen and determination of the primordial germ cells. The distribution of tudor protein during embryogenesis, and the effect of various mutations on its distribution, suggest that tudor protein may carry out these functions separately, based on its location in the embryo. The protein is...
