    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. drm is activated under the control of tll and triggers development of the small intestine cell-non-autonomously through some extracellular signaling
      Title: The drumstick gene acts cell-non-autonomously and triggers specification of the small intestine in the Drosophila hindgut.
    2. Drm and Lines regulate Bowl protein accumulation and consequent patterning in the epithelia of the foregut, hindgut, and imaginal discs.
      Title: The Drumstick/Lines/Bowl regulatory pathway links antagonistic Hedgehog and Wingless signaling inputs to epidermal cell differentiation.
    3. data show that drm encodes a zinc finger protein that is a member of the Odd-skipped family; drm expression is localized to the developing midgut-hindgut junction, while lines is broadly expressed throughout the gut primordium.
      Title: Drumstick is a zinc finger protein that antagonizes Lines to control patterning and morphogenesis of the Drosophila hindgut.
