Abstract excerpt
The adult eye of Drosophila is a highly ordered structure. It is composed of about 800 ommatidia, each displaying precise polarity. The ommatidia are arranged about an axis of mirror image symmetry, the equator, which lies along the dorsoventral midline of the eye. We use hedgehog pathway mutants...
