Abstract excerpt
The bithorax complex specifies the identity of parasegments 5-14 of Drosophila. Although nine parasegment-specific functions, abx/bx, bxd/pbx and iab-2 to iab-8,9 have been identified, the whole bithorax complex appears to encode only three classes of proteins, Ubx, abd-A and Abd-B. Many observations suggest that the parasegment-specific functions act as positive cis-regulatory elements of Ubx, abd-A and Abd-B....
