Abstract excerpt

The homeotic genes of Drosophila are expressed in overlapping domains along the anterior-to-posterior axis and specify the distinct morphological patterns of each parasegment. Within single parasegments, the levels of homeotic gene expression are often modulated, in part because of cross-regulati...
