▪ Abstract The Hox homeobox gene family plays a pivotal role in regulating patterning and
axial morphogenesis in vertebrates. Molecular characterization of the four Hox clusters has …

The potential of the vertebrate limb as a model system to study developmental mechanisms
is particularly well illustrated by the analysis of the Hox gene network. These genes are …

The homoeobox-containing genes of the Hox-5 complex are expressed in different but
overlapping domains in limbs during murine development. The more 5′ the position of …

Various strategies have been used to isolate genes that participate in the regulation of
mouse development. Gene families that have been identified on the basis of their homology …

The cloning, characterization and developmental expression patterns of two novel murine
Hox genes, Hox‐4.6 and Hox‐4.7, are reported. Structural data allow us to classify the four …

Summary Two Hoxb4 (Hox-2.6) mutations were introduced into the mouse germline. The
overt phenotype caused by one of the mutations was assayed on two dlfferent genetic …

Summary in Insects and vertebrates, clusters of AnfennapedCa class homeobox (HOM-C)
genes specify anteroposterlor body pattern. The nematode C. eiegana also contains a small …

The zinc finger gene Krox20 and many Hox homeobox genes are expressed in segment-
rest&ted domains in the hindbrain. The restricted expression patterns appear before …

In the process of cloning murine proteins capable of binding to a regulatory module of the
Ncam promoter, we isolated a novel homeobox gene, Barx1, the first vertebrate member of …

Hydra, a diblastic animal consisting of two cell layers, ectoderm and endoderm, is one of the
most ancient animals displaying an anteroposterior axis with a head and a foot developing …
