Engrailed (En): unlike gap and pair rule genes en expressed throughout fly life
Engrailed (En): first appears as 14 stripes at cellularization
Engrailed (En) expression controlled by pair rule genes
Ftz: en is missing in even numbered ps
Inject fluorescent compound in
embryo
Activate single cell witth UV beam
3 cells layer
Anterior region of a ps defines boundary of a cell-lineage restriction
Cells and their descendants from ps never move into adjacent one: genetic
control
Domains of lineage restriction: compartment
Contains all the descendants of cells present when compartment is set

Seg. genes set up a focus of signaling at the boundary that patterns segment
Larva: each segment has well defined anterior and posterior pattern seen on ventral
Epidermis of abdomen
Anterior region has denticles, posterior region is naked
Each segment has unique pattern
