Abstract excerpt
The branchial region of the vertebrate head forms through complex interactions involving rhombomeric segments, neural crest and branchial arches. It is though that aspects of their patterning mechanisms are linked and involve Hox-2 genes, whose overlapping and spatially restricted expression domains represent a combinatorial code for generating regional diversity. Vertebrates possess four Hox clusters of...
