Abstract excerpt
The paralogs 9-13 Hox genes in mouse HoxA and HoxD clusters are critical for limb development. When both HoxA and HoxD clusters are deleted in mice, significant limb truncation is observed compared to the phenotypes of single and compound mutants of Hox9-13 genes in these clusters. In zebrafish, mutations in hox13 genes in HoxA- and HoxD-related clusters result in abnormal morphology of pectoral fins, homologous...
