High impact information on smid
- The correlation of smid expression with mitotic activity suggests a cell cycle function which is confirmed by the observed phenotype of a smid null mutant characterised by an abnormally small CNS, due to defective mitosis of post-embryonic neuroblasts and their subsequent death by apoptosis [1].
- In situ hybridisation reveals the ubiquitous expression of smid transcript throughout early embryonic stages until the extended germ band stage, after which expression becomes localised to the neurogenic ectoderm and gonad [1].
- Here we describe the expression pattern of the smallminded (smid) gene during Drosophila development and investigate the phenotype of a null mutant [1].
- Dynamic developmental expression of smallminded, a Drosophila gene required for cell division [1].
