Abstract excerpt
An ectopic expression assay in Drosophila embryos was used to investigate the roles of pair-rule segmentation genes in the spatial regulation of the segment-polarity gene, engrailed (en). It is hypothesized that the regions of overlap in expression of two genes, paired (prd) and even-skipped (eve), define the odd-numbered en expression stripes. Consistent with this combinatorial model, ectopic expression of prd...
