New work on the #chinmo gene that controls fly larval development, by Sílvia Chafino et al. 2023 https://elifesciences.org/articles/84648
… building on prior work by Truman & Riddiford 2022 https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2201071119 on “Chinmo is the larval member of the molecular trinity that directs Drosophila metamorphosis”

“Importantly, we also provide evidence that, in contrast to the well-known role of chinmo as a pro-oncogene, Br-C and E93 act as tumour suppressors.” #dna #isogg #chinmo #epigenetics #geneadons #cancer #tumorsupressors
