Abstract excerpt
Numerous lines of study have suggested that the Hox genes, encoding putative transcription factors, are key genes in the establishment of the body plan of the mammalian embryo. To examine the role of Hoxa-5 (Hox1.3) gene during development, we have used targeted mutagenesis in embryonic stem cells to produce a strain of mice carrying a disrupted Hoxa-5 allele. The viability of homozygous mutant mice is markedly...
