Abstract excerpt
In vertebrates, certain Hox genes are known to control cellular identities along the anterior-posterior (A-P) axis in the developing hindbrain. In mouse Hoxa3 mutants, truncation of the glossopharyngeal (IXth) nerve or the fusion of the IXth and vagus (Xth) nerves was reported, although its underlying mechanism is largely unknown. To elucidate the mechanism of the IXth nerve defects, we reexamined the phenotype...
