Abstract excerpt
We have previously described a Hoxa5 mutant mouse line in which specification of axial identity is perturbed and viability is markedly reduced. In the present study, we assay the Hoxa5 mutation in different genetic backgrounds and carry out a complete analysis of skeletal transformations. Althoug...
