General Information
Term larval swarm cell ID (Ontology) FBbt:00048543 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Somatic cell of the larval ovary that migrates from the anterior to the posterior of the ovary during larval development (Couderc et al., 2002; Irizarry and Stathopoulos, 2015). These are precursors to at least some of the cells of the peritoneal sheath (Slaidina et al., 2020).[ FlyBase:FBrf0146992 FlyBase:FBrf0228667 FlyBase:FBrf0228735 FlyBase:FBrf0244767 ]
Also Known As "SW"
Comment Identifiable by sim expression (Slaidina et al., 2020).
