Abstract excerpt
Vertebrate Hox genes are activated following a temporal sequence that reflects their linear order in the clusters. We introduced two Hoxd transcription units, labeled with lacZ, to an ectopic 5' position in the HoxD complex. Early expression of the relocated genes was delayed and resembled that of the neighboring Hoxd-13. At later stages, locus-dependent expression in distal limbs and the genital eminence was...
