Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila segment polarity gene wingless (wg) is essential for cell fate decisions in the developing embryonic epidermis. Wg protein is produced in one row of cells near the posterior of every segment and is secreted and distributed throughout the segment to generate wild-type pattern elements. Ventrally, epidermal cells secrete a diverse array of anterior denticle types and a posterior expanse of naked...
