Number of Nuclear Divisions in the Drosophila Blastoderm Controlled by Onset of Zygotic Transcription

Number of Nuclear Divisions in the Drosophila Blastoderm Controlled by Onset of Zygotic Transcription: Hung-wei Sung, Saskia Spangenberg, Nina Vogt, Jörg Großhans. The cell number of the early Drosophila embryo is determined by exactly 13 rounds of synchronous nuclear divisions, allowing cellularization and formation of the embryonic epithelium [1]. T....
