Distal-less is the earliest known gene specifically expressed in developing insect limbs; its
expression is maintained throughout limb development. The homeodomain transcription …

Simple Summary DLX homeobox family genes encode transcription factors that have
indispensable roles in embryonic and postnatal development. These genes are critically …

Living things are unimaginably complex, yet they have withstood a withering assault of
harmful influences over several billion years. These influences include cataclysmic changes …

The success of vertebrates was due in part to the acquisition and modification of jaws. Jaws
are principally derived from the branchial arches, embryonic structures that exhibit …

During limb development, coordinated expression of several Hoxd genes is required in
presumptive digits. We searched for the underlying control sequences upstream from the …

Retroposons, such as short interspersed elements (SINEs) and long interspersed elements
(LINEs), are the major constituents of higher vertebrate genomes. Although there are many …

We present here a Sleeping Beauty–based transposition system that offers a simple and
efficient way to investigate the regulatory architecture of mammalian chromosomes in vivo …

Dlx homeobox genes of vertebrates are generally arranged as three bigene clusters on
distinct chromosomes. The Dlx1/Dlx2, Dlx5/Dlx6, and Dlx3/Dlx7 clusters likely originate from …

Dlx homeobox transcription factors regulate epidermal, neural and osteogenic cellular
differentiation. Here, we demonstrate the central role of Dlx3 as a crucial transcriptional …

While for two of three mammalian olfactory receptor families (OR and V2R) ortholog teleost
families have been identified, the third family (V1R) has been thought to be represented by a …
