Abstract excerpt
During development, vertebrate Hox genes are activated in a temporal and spatial sequence colinear with the position of the genes within their clusters. To investigate the mechanistic basis of this phenomenon, we used the ES cell technology and the loxP/Cre system to engineer a conditional fusion of the 5' exon of Hoxd-13 with the 3' exon of Hoxd-12. This hybrid transcription unit was regulated like Hoxd-11, with...
