Abstract excerpt

The gene extramacrochaetae (emc) encodes a non-basic Helix-loop-helix (HLH) protein that interacts and antagonises other basic-HLH proteins. The expression pattern of emc, and the phenotype of lethal emc alleles indicate that this gene is operative in several developmental processes. Here we stud...
