High impact information on vis

 

Biological context of vis

  • We described two tightly linked and nearly identical homeobox genes of the TGIF (TG-interacting factor) subclass called vismay and achintya that are essential for spermatogenesis in DROSOPHILA: In flies deficient for both genes, spermatogenesis is blocked prior to any spermatid differentiation and before the first meiotic division [1].
 

Other interactions of vis

  • Drosophila TGIF is represented by the products of two tandemly repeated highly similar genes, achintya and vismay [2].
