The Drosophila proneural genes specify neuronal determination among cells within the ectoderm. Here we address the question of whether proneural genes also affect the specification of glia, the most abundant cell type in the nervous system. We provide evidence that the proneural gene daughterless is
## Abstract The Drosophila nervous system is ideally suited to study glial cell development and function, because it harbors only relatively few glial cells, and nervous system development is very well conserved during evolution. In the past, enhancer trap studies provided tools allowing to study g
During the past few years, the essential role of distinct transcription factors in specifying cell-fate decisions in a stepwise fashion during T-cell differentiation has been revealed. One striking feature is that a single factor can act at several sites throughout T-cell development, possibly throu
