Abstract excerpt
Ectopic expression of the pair-rule gene runt in the anterior end of the Drosophila embryo antagonizes transcriptional activation of the head gap gene orthodenticle (otd) by the anterior morphogen bicoid. Here we investigate the relevance of runt's activity as a repressor of otd in normal Drosoph...
