General Information
Term follicle cell of egg chamber migration ID (Ontology) GO:0007297 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The directed movement of an ovarian follicle cell that takes place during oogenesis. During egg chamber formation, follicle cells migrate to envelop the germ-line cysts and move in between cysts. At stage 10B, follicle cells migrate centripetally between the nurse cells and the oocyte, enclosing the anterior of the egg. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster.[ PubMed:10822261 ]
