Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor genes Hoxa1 and Krox-20 have been shown to play important roles in vertebrate hindbrain segmentation. In this report, we present evidence for novel functions of these genes which co-operate in specifying cellular identity in rhombomere (r) 3. Although Hoxa1 has not been observed to be expressed rostrally to the prospective r3/r4 boundary, its inactivation results in (i) the appearance of...
