Mutations in the gene stand still disrupt germ cell differentiation in Drosophila ovaries.

Developmental genetics - 1 Jan 1996

Mulligan P K, Campos A R, Jacobs J R

Abstract excerpt

During oogenesis in Drosophila, germ cells appear in sequential clusters of 16 interconnected cells. The events surrounding the differentiation of these cells are not fully understood. Here we present genetic and morphological analysis of mutations in the gene stand still (stil). Through compleme...
