Maternal co-ordinate gene regulation and axis polarity in the scuttle fly Megaselia abdita.

Axis specification and segment determination in dipteran insects are an excellent model system for comparative analyses of gene network evolution. Antero-posterior polarity of the embryo is established through systems of maternal morphogen gradients. In Drosophila melanogaster, the anterior system a...
