Abstract excerpt
The rae28 gene is a mouse homologue of the Drosophila polyhomeotic gene (Nomura, M., Takihara, Y. and Shimada, K. (1994) Differentiation 57, 39-50), which is a member of the Polycomb group (Pc-G) of genes (DeCamillis, M., Cheng, N., Pierre, D. and Brock, H.W. (1992) Genes Dev. 6, 223-232). The Pc-G genes are required for the correct expression of the Homeotic complex genes and segment specification during...
