AmiGO 2: Term Details for "mystery cell differentiation" (GO:0008583)

Accession: GO:0008583
Name: mystery cell differentiation
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: None
Alternate IDs: None
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.
