It is shown that single stranded RNA probes of a high specific activity are easy to prepare and can significantly increase the sensitivity of nucleic acid hybridization methods.

Examination of the expression of even-skipped in a variety of insects reveals that insect germ-type designations apparently do not reflect the variations in the mechanisms of segmentation evident throughout insect phylogeny.

Surprisingly, however, in spastin-null mutants, there are fewer microtubule bundles within the NMJ, especially in its distal boutons, which may be relevant to an understanding of human Spastin's role in maintenance of axon terminals in the spinal cord.

The Drosophila larval neuromuscular system is an excellent genetic model for the study of excitatory synapses in the mammalian central nervous system and contains genes that regulate acute plasticity, focusing on translational regulatory mechanisms.

The similarity of the Klc and Khc mutant phenotypes indicates that KLC is essential for kinesin function, perhaps by tethering KHC to intracellular cargos or by activating the kinesIn motor.
