Dorsal , an Embryonic Polarity Gene in Drosophila , Is Homologous to the Vertebrate Proto-Oncogene, c- rel

Steward, Ruth·1987·Science

Abstract

The Drosophila gene, dorsal , is a maternal effect locus that is essential for the establishment of dorsal-ventral polarity in the developing embryo. The dorsal protein was predicted from the complementary DNA sequence; it is almost 50 percent identical, over an extensive region, to the protein encoded by the avian oncogene v- rel , its cellular homolog, c- rel , and a human c- rel fragment. The oncogene v- rel is highly oncogenic in avian lymphoid, spleen, and bone marrow cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
