Fig. 4. Hox gene expression in LRE and LRE+RARE mutants. Expression of
(A-C) Hoxa3, (D-F) Hoxd3, (G-I)
Hoxb4 and (J-L) Hoxd4 in E9.5 wild-type (A,D,G,L),
LRE mutant (B,E,H,K) and LRE+RARE mutant (C,F,I,L) mouse embryos. The rostral
somitic expression boundary (arrows) was posteriorized by one somite for each
Hox gene examined in both mutant backgrounds, as compared with wild-type
controls. S, somite.
