E(z): a polycomb group gene or a trithorax group gene?

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Jul 1996

LaJeunesse D, Shearn A

Abstract excerpt

The products of the Polycomb group of genes are cooperatively involved in repressing expression of homeotic selector genes outside of their appropriate anterior/posterior boundaries. Loss of maternal and/or zygotic function of Polycomb group genes results in the ectopic expression of both Antennapedia Complex and Bithorax Complex genes. The products of the trithorax group of genes are cooperatively involved in...
