MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; Body Patterning; DNA-Binding Proteins / metabolism; Drosophila / embryology; Drosophila / growth & development; Drosophila / metabolism; Drosophila Proteins / metabolism; Head / embryology; Head / growth & development; Larva / growth & development; Larva / metabolism; Transcription Factors / metabolism; Tribolium / embryology; Tribolium / growth & development; Tribolium / metabolism
topics (OpenAlex): Developmental Biology and Gene Regulation; Genetic and Clinical Aspects of Sex Determination and Chromosomal Abnormalities
TL;DR: It is proposed that the disco genes always function as appendage factors, but their appendage nature is masked during Drosophila embryogenesis due to the reduction of limb fields in the maggot style Drosophile larva. (via Semantic Scholar)
