abstract：:The sloppy paired (slp) locus consists of two genes, slp1 and slp2, both of which encode proteins containing a forkhead domain (a DNA-binding motif). Previous work has shown that a severe segmentation phenotype is obtained only when both slp genes are deleted. Here we examine the functional redundancy of the locus in ...
