Hoxb6 can interfere with somitogenesis in the posterior embryo through a mechanism independent of its rib-promoting activity
Formation of the vertebrate axial skeleton requires coordinated Hox gene activity. Hox group 6 genes are involved in the formation of the thoracic area owing to their unique rib-promoting properties. Here we show that the linker region (LR) connecting the homeodomain and the hexapeptide is essential...
