Abstract excerpt
The Abdominal-B (Abd-B) gene, a member of the Drosophila bithorax complex, is required during development to specify the identity of parasegments 10-14. Based on genetic studies, Casanova, J., Sánchez-Herrero, E. and Morata, G. (1986) Cell 47, 627-636, proposed that the Abd-B gene consists of two distinct elements that provide a morphogenetic (m) function in PS 10-13 and a regulatory (r) function in PS 14, where...
