Publikováno v: Royal Society Open Science, Vol 2, Iss 3 (2015)

GAGA factor plays important roles during Drosophila embryogenesis and its maternal contribution is essential for early development. Here, the role of GAGA factor was studied in 3rd instar larvae using depletion and overexpression conditions in wing d
