Abstract excerpt

The neighboring homologous knirps (kni) and knirps-related (knrl) genes in Drosophila encode transcription factors in the steroid hormone receptor superfamily. During early embryogenesis, kni functions as a gap gene to control expression of segmentation genes within the abdominal region of the em...
