Abstract excerpt
In Drosophila the Abdominal-B (Abd-B) domain of the bithorax complex (BX-C) spans over 100 kb and is responsible for specifying the identities of adult abdominal segments five (A5) to nine (A9), inclusive, and correspondingly, neuromeres 10-14 of the embryonic central nervous system. The domain consists of a region coding for two proteins, ABD-BI (54 kd) and ABD-BII (36 kd) and cis-regulatory regions extending...
