Spatial restriction in expression of a mouse homoeo box locus within the central nervous system

Nature volume 320, pages 328–335 (1986)Cite this article

Abstract

A common feature of Drosophila homoeo box genes appears to be their spatially restricted expression patterns during morphogenesis. Using Northern blot analysis and in situ hybridization to mouse tissue sections, the spatially restricted expression of a newly identified mouse homoeo box locus, Hox-3, within the central nervous system of newborn and adult mice has been demonstrated.
