Positioning of the mouse Hox gene clusters in the nuclei of developing embryos and differentiating embryoid bodies.

Abstract excerpt

Expression of Hox genes located on different chromosomes is precisely regulated and synchronized during development. In order to test the hypothesis that the Hox loci might cluster in nuclear space in order to share regulatory components, we performed 3D FISH on cryosections of developing mouse embryos and differentiating embryoid bodies. We did not observe any instances of co-localization of 4 different Hox...
