“…We also found lateral muscles scarcer ( lms ) expression restricted to DFM precursors, as previously reported (Muller et al , ). Other DFM‐specific markers are genes whose roles were described in other types of muscles, including midline ( mid ) (Kumar et al , ), Anaplastic lymphoma kinase ( Alk ) (Englund et al , ; Lee et al , ) and wing blister ( wb ) (Martin et al , ), which are involved in embryonic myogenesis, and sprout ( sty ), which regulates maturation of adult founder cells in the abdomen (Dutta et al , ). Finally, the panel of DFM markers included arginine kinase (Argk ), Neurotactin ( Nrt ), Amalgam ( Ama ) and Tenascin accessory ( Ten‐a ), whose function in muscle has not been investigated yet.…”
