Altered patterns of gene expression in Tribolium segmentation mutants.
Developmental genetics - 1 Jan 1998
Sulston I A, Anderson K V
Abstract excerpt
Embryos homozygous for the godzilla, jaws, or kraken mutations of Tribolium castaneum have characteristic defects in segmentation. Here, we examine the expression of Tribolium genes homologous to Drosophila segmentation genes in these mutants to define similarities and differences in the process of segmentation in the two insects. The godzilla mutation disrupts segmentation and alters the expression of...
