We speculate that hox genes regulate pattern specific development in the mouse similar to homeobox genes in Drosophila.

Hox genes and their relatives are involved in several developmental processes in diverse animals, but when did they first arise? The genome sequence of the sponge Amphimedon queenslandica shows ...

Genetic studies in model organisms, including Drosophila, have a rich history of fundamental insights in neuroscience, including the identification and functional dissection of genes important in ...

In order for the pair of wings and the pair of halteres (as well as all other parts of the fly) to develop properly, the fly's suite of Hox genes must be expressed in a precise way and at precise ...
