Homeotic gene action in embryonic brain development of Drosophila.
Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 May 1998
Hirth F, Hartmann B, Reichert H
Abstract excerpt
Studies in vertebrates show that homeotic genes are involved in axial patterning and in specifying segmental identity of the embryonic hindbrain and spinal cord. To gain further insights into homeotic gene action during CNS development, we here characterize the role of the homeotic genes in embry...
