Abstract excerpt
We have replaced the Hox-3.1 coding sequence with the E. coli lacZ gene by means of homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells and thus produced null mutant mice. Homozygous mice were born alive, but most of them died within a few days. In the trunk region of homozygotes, several skeletal segments were transformed into the likeness of more anterior ones, as observed in Drosophila with loss-of-function...
