<h4>Background</h4>Proper neurogenesis in the developing Drosophila retina requires the regulated expression of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proneural transcription factors Atonal (Ato) and Daughterless (Da). Factors that control the timing and spatial expression of these bHLH proneural genes in the retina are required for the proper formation and function of the adult eye and nervous system.<h4>Results</h4>Here we report that lilliputian (lilli), the Drosophila homolog of the FMR2/AF4 fami ...[more]
