Selection for rapid embryonic development sculpted the new gene Shrew into an accelerator of Drosophila dorsal-ventral axis specification
{{output}}
Assignment of cell fate along the dorsal/ventral (D/V) axis of the Drosophila embryo occurs during the 40 minutes immediately prior to gastrulation. The mechanism is the rapid redistribution of Decapentaplegic-Screw morphogens from lateral to dorsal regions. R... ...
