pipsqueak, an early acting member of the posterior group of genes, affects vasa level and germ cell-somatic cell interaction in the developing egg chamber.
TLDR
It is shown that pipsqueak acts after the establishment of the oskar posterior anchor but before the localization of vasa protein during oogenesis, and characterization of multiple alleles at the pipsQueak locus shows that pippingqueak, like vasa, is required for early stages of oogenesis.
