Cover Legend

The glial cells missing (Gcm) transcription factor suppresses blood cell tumor formation in the Drosophila larva. Loss of function of gcm leads to a melatonic tumor phenotype visualized by bright field microscopy. For further information, see article by Jacques et al. pp. 1013-1022 in the current issue.
