...Mariko Kondo; Megumi Matsuo; Kento Igarashi; Yoshikazu Haramoto; Takayoshi Yamamoto; Yuuri Yasuoka; Masanori Taira ABSTRACT hox genes are found as clusters in the genome in most bilaterians. The order of genes in the cluster is supposed to be correlated with the site of expression along...

...Wei Wang; Neil Tindell; Shun Yan; John H. Yoder Summary During Drosophila development region-specific regulation of target genes by Hox proteins is modulated by genetic interactions with various cofactors and genetic collaborators. During embryogenesis one such modulator of Hox target specificity...

... in Drosophila begins during embryogenesis and continues during a subsequent postembryonic phase. During embryogenesis, the Hox gene labial is expressed in the developing tritocerebrum, and labial loss-of-function has been shown to be associated with a loss of regional neuronal identity and severe patterning...
