The function and regulation of Ultrabithorax in the legs of Drosophila melanogaster.

Developmental biology - 15 Aug 2007

Davis Gregory K, Srinivasan Dayalan G, Wittkopp Patricia J, Stern David L

Abstract excerpt

Alterations in Hox gene expression patterns have been implicated in both large and small-scale morphological evolution. An improved understanding of these changes requires a detailed understanding of Hox gene cis-regulatory function and evolution. cis-regulatory evolution of the Hox gene Ultrabithorax (Ubx) has been shown to contribute to evolution of trichome patterns on the posterior second femur (T2p) of...
