One of the most remarkable recent findings in developmental biology has been the colinear and homologous relationships shared between the Drusuphila HOM-C and vertebrate Hox homeobox gene complexes. These relationships pose the question of the functional significance of colincarity and its molecular

In Drosophila, dorsal mesodermal specification is regulated by the homeobox genes tinman and bagpipe. Vertebrate homologs of tinman and bagpipe have been isolated in various species. Moreover, there are at least four different genes related to tinman in the vertebrate, which indicates that this gene
The discovery of homeobox genes in vertebrates may allow analysis of a basic problem in developmental neurobiology : how regional digerences in CNS organization are specified during development. This view is based on the roles defined for homologous genes in Drosophila development, and is supported
