Abstract excerpt
The somatic musculature in the abdominal hemisegments of Drosophila consists of 30 uniquely identifiable muscle fibers. Previous studies have suggested that the muscle diversity originates in a special class of myoblasts, called muscle founders, that are formed by the division of muscle progenitors. However, the mechanisms that locate and specify the muscle progenitors/founders are largely unknown. In this study,...
