Abstract
The arrangement of photoreceptors in the ommatidia of the Drosophila compound eye is polarized, having a handedness or chirality. Notch signalling helps determine this handedness, first by establishing a signalling center at the eye equator, and second by mediating a choice between two photoreceptor fates
