Abstract excerpt
We have characterized an induced mutation, called embryonic ectoderm development or eed, that disrupts A-P patterning of the mouse embryo during gastrulation. Positional cloning of this gene revealed it to be the highly conserved homologue of the Drosophila gene extra sex combs, which is required for maintenance of long-term transcriptional repression of homeotic gene expression. Mouse embryos homozygous for...
