Transcriptional control of dendritic patterning in Drosophila neurons.

Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease, and Department of Neurology, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94158, USA.

How the morphology of individual neurons is controlled remains poorly understood. A recent in vivo genome-wide screen based on RNA interference identified a large number of transcriptional factors that regulate the stereotyped growth and branching of dendrites on some Drosophila sensory neurons.
