Abstract excerpt

The Ultrabithorax (Ubx) gene of Drosophila melanogaster contains two functionally distinguishable regions: the protein-coding Ubx transcription unit and, upstream of it, the transcribed but nonprotein-coding bxd region. Numerous recessive, partial loss-of-function mutations which appear to be reg...
