Abstract
►A mutagenesis screen identifies 24 genes involved in gonad formation. ►These genes preferentially affect the behavior of the somatic gonad rather than the germ cells. ►Gonad formation is regulated by both DE-cadherin-dependent and independent pathways. ►The slit/robo pathway is essential for organogenesis of the gonad.
