Abstract excerpt
Mammalian genomes contain clusters of homeobox genes (Hox-C, HOX-C) which are structurally similar to the homeotic genes of the Drosophila HOM complex. One method for assessing the functional similarity of particular Drosophila HOM and mammalian Hox genes is to test the ability of Hox genes to induce homeotic phenotypes when expressed in developing Drosophila. Here we describe such functional tests using mouse...
