Abstract

Mouse Hox-1.11 and Hox-4.9 genes were cloned, and the nucleotide sequences of the homeobox regions were determined. In addition, nucleotide sequence analysis of the homeobox regions of cloned Hox-4.3 and Hox-4.2 genomic DNA revealed some differences in nucleotide sequences and in the deduced homeodomain amino acid sequences compared with the sequences that have been reported.
