Abstract excerpt
The RNA of the noncluster homeobox gene, Xgbx-2, is localized during neurulation to a narrow band of tissue at the midbrain hindbrain boundary (anterior hindbrain). The localized expression of Xgbx-2 within the nervous system prompted us to assess its function during early development by injectio...
