Multiple roles of the eyes absent gene in Drosophila.
Developmental biology - 1 Apr 1998
Bonini N M, Leiserson W M, Benzer S
Abstract excerpt
The eyes absent (eya) gene plays an essential role in the events that lead to formation of the Drosophila eye; without expression of eya in retinal progenitor cells, they undergo programmed cell death just prior to the morphogenetic furrow, leading to an eyeless or reduced eye phenotype. The eya...
