The rhinoceros gene of drosophila restricts cell fate specification in the developing eye
… the eye. Also described here is the role of the rhinoceros (rno) gene in regulating eye cell fates. Mutation of mo causes the overproduction of eye cell fates and inhibits apoptosis. These phenotypes are similar to those seen when EGFR is hyperactivated in argos mutants. Tests between argos and …
