Description
Terminal differentiation of epidermal cells in Drosophila embryos requires the activity of a transcription factor. Svb is necessary and sufficient to induce this process. pri is a regulator of Svb activity, converting it from a repressor into an activator. To characterize the downstream Svb and pri effectors in cell morphogenesis, we performed microarrays in wt, svb -/- (no gene) and pri -/- (svb repressor) mutant conditions.
