An RNAi Screen Identifies New Genes Required for Normal Morphogenesis of Larval Chordotonal Organs

The proprioceptive chordotonal organs (ChO) of a fly larva respond to mechanical stimuli generated by muscle contractions and consequent deformations of the cuticle. The ability of the ChO to sense the relative displacement of its epidermal attachment sites likely depends on the correct mechanical p...
