Abstract excerpt
Extensive sequencing in the HoxD complex of several vertebrate species has revealed a set of conserved DNA sequences interspersed between neighboring Hox genes. Their high degree of conservation strongly suggested that they are used for regulatory purposes, a hypothesis that was largely confirmed by using "classical transgenesis" or in vivo mutagenesis through the embryonic stem (ES) cell technology. Here, we...
