Abstract excerpt
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 transcri...
