General Information
Term mystery cell differentiation ID (Ontology) GO:0008583 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The process in which an undifferentiated cell acquires the features of a mystery cell. The mystery cells are a precluster of cells that emerge from the compound eye morphogenetic furrow, normally positioned between R3 and R4. They then disappear into the surrounding pool of undifferentiated cells and have no known fate in the mature ommatidium. An example of this process is found in Drosophila melanogaster.[ ISBN:0632030488 PubMed:1295747 ]
