Similarities and differences in the regulation of HoxD genes during chick and mouse limb development

Denis Duboule, Guillaume Andrey, Lucille Delisle, Christopher Chase Bolt, Leonardo Beccari, Nayuta Yakushiji

In all tetrapods examined thus far, the development and patterning of limbs require the activation of gene members of the HoxD cluster. In mammals, they are regulated by a complex bimodal process that controls first the proximal patterning and then the dis ...
