Wing defects in Drosophila xenicid mutant clones are caused by C-terminal deletion of additional sex combs (Asx).
BACKGROUND:The coordinated action of genes that control patterning, cell fate determination, cell size, and cell adhesion is required for proper wing formation in Drosophila. Defects in any of these basic processes can lead to wing aberrations, including blisters. The xenicid mutation was originally...
