Abstract excerpt
The Polycomb group genes are involved in maintaining long term transcriptional repression of the homeotic genes in both Drosophila and mammals. The mouse eed locus encodes the highly conserved ortholog of the Drosophila ESC protein. To test the functional conservation between the two genes, eed was introduced into the fly to determine whether it could rescue the esc mutant phenotype. eed exerted a dominant...
