Temporal dynamics of the interaction between homothorax and Antennapedia in D melanogaster
Dworkin, I.M.*; Larsen, E.W: Temporal dynamics of the interaction between homothorax and Antennapedia in D. melanogaster The antenna to leg transformations induced by dominant alleles of Antennapedia (Antp) have become classic examples of homeotic transformation in D. melanogaster. It has recently been suggested that this transformation is due to Antp mediated repression of the homothorax […]
