Fig. 2. Homeotic transformations and ectopic Hox gene expression in
eedxBmi1 mutants. (A) The chart
summarizes the penetrance of posterior homeotic transformations in P0
skeletons. The inset depicts the color-coding of the five transformations
assessed. The columns represent the percentage of skeletons exhibiting the
cervical (C), thoracic (T), lumbar (L) or sacral (S) transformations.
Unilateral and bilateral transformations were combined. See the legend for
Fig. 3 for a description of the
transformations. The genotypes and the number (n) of skeletons
analyzed per genotype are shown at the bottom of the figure. (B) The
chart summarizes the penetrance of ectopic Hox gene expression in prevertebrae
of E12.5 embryos. The inset depicts the color-coding of the four Hox genes
tested (Hoxa5, b6, c8 and b4). The columns indicate the
percentage of embryos exhibiting ectopic Hox gene expression. The genotypes
and the number (n) of embryos analyzed per genotype and Hox probe are
shown below the columns.
