Drosophila oocyte localization is mediated by differential cadherin-based adhesion.

Abstract excerpt

In a Drosophila follicle the oocyte always occupies a posterior position among a group of sixteen germline cells. Although the importance of this cell arrangement for the subsequent formation of the anterior-posterior axis of the embryo is well documented, the molecular mechanism responsible for...
