...Silvia Aldaz; Ginés Morata; Natalia Azpiazu In Drosophila , the morphological diversity is generated by the activation of different sets of active developmental regulatory genes in the different body subdomains. Here, we have investigated the role of the homothorax/extradenticle ( hth/exd ) gene...

... mechanisms by which these genes affect pattern formation in the PNS are not understood and other genes that function in this pathway are not characterized. Here we report the phenotypic and molecular analysis of one such gene, homothorax ( hth; also named dorsotonals ). Mutations in the hth gene seem...
