Germ-line transformation via transposable elements is a powerful tool to study gene function in Drosophila melanogaster. However… Expand

In Drosophila, maternally supplied Nanos functions in the migration of primordial germ cells (PGCs) into the gonad; in mice… Expand

BACKGROUND Localization of nanos mRNA to the posterior pole of the Drosophila embryo directs local synthesis of Nanos protein… Expand

Asymmetrically distributed cytoplasmic determinants collectively termed germ plasm have been shown to play an essential role in… Expand

Translational regulation of hunchback (hb) mRNA is essential for posterior patterning of the Drosophila embryo. This regulation… Expand

The zinc-finger protein Nanos and the RNA-binding protein Pumilio act together to repress the translation of maternal hunchback… Expand

The Drosophila gene nanos is required for two processes. During oogenesis, nanos function is required for the continued… Expand

Anterior-posterior polarity of the Drosophila embryo is initiated during oogenesis through differential maternal RNA localization… Expand

Oskar is one of seven Drosophila maternal-effect genes that are necessary for germline and abdomen formation. We have cloned… Expand

Segmental pattern in the Drosophila embryo is established by two maternal factors localized to the anterior and posterior poles… Expand
