Summary: | Genetic screens in
have long been used to identify genes found in a variety of developmental, cellular, and behavioral processes. Here we describe the characterization and mapping of a mutation identified in a conditional screen for genetic regulators of cell growth and cell division. Within a Flp/FRT system, mutant
results in a reduction of mutant tissue and a rough eye phenotype. We find that
maps to the gene
, providing further support that
is a critical gene in
eye development. This mutant was characterized, mapped and sequenced by undergraduate students within the Fly-CURE consortium. |
