The dachshund gene encodes a nuclear protein that is required for normal eye development in Drosophila. In the absence of dachshund function, flies develop with severely reduced or no eyes. We show that targeted expression of dachshund is sufficient to direct ectopic retinal development in a variety of tissues, including the adult head, thorax and legs. This result is similar to that observed with the highly...
