Abstract excerpt
Drosophila homeotic genes and vertebrate Hox genes are involved in the anteroposterior organization of the developing embryo. In Drosophila, the Polycomb- and trithorax-group genes are required to maintain the homeotic genes throughout development in the repressed or activated state, respectively. The murine Bmi-1 proto-oncogene was shown to exhibit homology to the Polycomb-group gene Posteior sex combs. Mice...
