Clusters of homeotic genes sculpt the morphology of animal body plans and body parts.
Different body patterns may evolve through changes in homeotic gene number, regulation or …

Significant progress has recently been made in our understanding of animal regenerative
biology, spurred on by the use of a wider range of model organisms and an increasing …

We have isolated two murine homeobox genes, Nkx-2. 5 and Nkx-2. 6, that are new
members of a sp sub-family of homeobox genes related to Drosophila NK2, NK3 and …

Although the Hox cluster genes are the best known, there are other exam-ples of
conservation of expression pattern of position-coding genes. Recently the vertebrate …

Animals have evolved diverse appendages adapted for locomotion, feeding and other
functions. The genetics underlying appendage formation are best understood in insects and …

The levitation in air of water, other diamagnetic substances and even living organisms was
recently achieved by using the extremely strong magnetic field provided by a Bitter-type …

We describe the cloning from a rat islet somatostatin‐producing cell line of a 1.4 kb cDNA
encoding a new homeoprotein, IDX‐1 (islet/duodenum homeobox‐1), with close sequence …

The Msx genes of vertebrates comprise a small family of chromosomally unlinked homeobox-
containing genes related to the Drosophila gene muscle-segment homeobox (msb). Despite …

The Arabidopsis Athb‐1 and− 2 proteins are characterized by the presence of a
homeodomain (HD) with a closely linked leucine zipper motif (Zip). We have suggested that …

The discovery of Hydra regeneration by Abraham Trembley in 1744 promoted much
scientific curiosity thanks to his clever design of experimental strategies away from the …
