Expression of the Hoxc6 Gene

Description



In vertebrates, expression of  the Hoxc6 gene causes ribs to develop on vertebrae  of the back – not the neck or tail

The Dlx gene encodes a transcription factor that signals embryonic cells to form buds that give rise to appendages

Hox genes suppress Dlx expression in all parts of an embryo that will not have appendages
