Abstract excerpt
The Ultrabithorax (Ubx) gene of Drosophila melanogaster includes two functionally distinguishable regions. One is the Ubx transcription unit, which gives rise by alternative splicing to a family of morphogenetic Ubx proteins (UBX). The other is its upstream bithoraxoid (bxd) region. On the basis of genetic and molecular studies, it is generally assumed that the Ubx transcription unit contains internal positively...
