Comparative distribution for some U-shaped genes, between M. domestica and D. melanogaster. Images show the distribution of mRNA during cellularization stages, for some members of the U-shaped group of genes, between M. domestica (a, c, e) and D. melanogaster (b, d, f) embryos, revealed by in situ hybridization. In panels a–d, lateral views of the expression of pannier and tailup are shown. In panels e, f, dorsal view of Dorsocross is shown. In all the images, embryos are oriented with the anterior region to the left
