Evolution of developmental genes: molecular microevolution of enhancer sequences at the Ubx locus in Drosophila and its impact on developmental phenotypes.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Feb 2004

Phinchongsakuldit Jaros, MacArthur Stewart, Brookfield John F Y

Abstract excerpt

Homeotic genes, which function to specify segment identity along the anterior-posterior axis of embryos, are controlled by extensive batteries of enhancer sequences. We have investigated patterns of interspecific and intraspecific molecular variation in three enhancers of the Ultrabithorax (Ubx) locus, which are bx-32.8, pbx32.7, and bxd4.1, from the Drosophila melanogaster species group. These enhancer sequences...
