Abstract excerpt
The imaginal discs of Drosophila are a useful experimental system in which we can study the origin and genetic determination of spatial patterns in development. This involves the separation of the disc-cell population into distinct lineage compartments, based on clonally transmitted expression states of a number of known selector genes. However, these commitments can be abrogated and the compartment boundaries...
