Differential regulation of eye specification in Drosophila by Polycomb Group (PcG) epigenetic repressors

Haley E. Brown, Claude Bernard Jean‐Guillaume, Brandon P. Weasner, Justin P. Kumar

The paper shows that knocking down specific Polycomb Group members in Drosophila can transform eye fate into wing fate by altering gene expression.

Polycomb safeguards imaginal disc specification through control of the Vestigial-Scalloped complex

Haley E. Brown, Brandon P. Weasner, Bonnie M. Weasner, Justin P. Kumar

The paper shows that reduced Polycomb expression leads to ectopic activation of vestigial, causing eye-to-wing transformation in Drosophila imaginal discs.
