Dynamic developmental expression of smallminded, a Drosophila gene required for cell division.

Mechanisms of development - 1 Aug 1998

Long A R, Wilkins J C, Shepherd D

Abstract excerpt

Here we describe the expression pattern of the smallminded (smid) gene during Drosophila development and investigate the phenotype of a null mutant. In situ hybridisation reveals the ubiquitous expression of smid transcript throughout early embryonic stages until the extended germ band stage, aft...
