Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the roles of the single-minded (sim) and rhomboid (rho) genes in generating distinct cell fates in the Drosophila embryonic neuroectoderm. We show that sim functions to repress ventral ectodermal cell fates, as in sim mutants mesectodermal cells adopt the fates of neighboring ventral ectodermal cells and targeted sim expression in P[paired.Gal4]/P[UAS-sim] embryos results in loss of epidermal...
