Abstract excerpt
Commitments to developmental pathways are often made and maintained in groups of cells. Such commitments are conferred by the products of selector genes, many of which are homeobox genes. Homeobox genes can maintain their expression by directly autoregulating their own transcription. Here, we report a case where positive autoregulation of Ultrabithorax, a homeotic Drosophila gene, is at least partly indirect and...
