We studied the expression of two distantly clustered Hox genes which could, respectively, be involved in specification of dorsal feather- and foot scale-forming skin in the chick embryo: cHoxc-8, a median paralog, and cHoxd-13, located at the 5' extremity of the HoxD cluster. The cHoxc-8 transcripts are present at embryonic day 3.5 (E3.5) in the somitic cells, which give rise to the dorsal dermis by E5, and at...
