The specificity of proneural genes in determining Drosophila sense organ identity.
Mechanisms of development - 1 Aug 1998
Jarman A P, Ahmed I
Abstract excerpt
The proneural genes (atonal and the genes of the achaete-scute complex (AS-C)) are required for the selection of sense organ precursors. They also endow these precursors with sense organ subtype information. In most of the ectoderm, atonal is required for precursors of chordotonal sense organs, w...
