GO:0045464 Definition The processes involved in the specification of a single R8 neuron from a field of uncommitted cells. Once specification has taken place, a cell will be committed to differentiate down a specific pathway if left in its normal environment.
Process by which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into an R8 cell in an environment that is neutral with respect to the developmental pathway; upon specification, the cell fate can be reversed.
