| Abstract | The homeobox is a 180-base-pair sequence characteristically found in homeotic and segmentation genes in Drosophila. Several copies of homeoboxes are also found in the mammalian genome, but it is not known whether these are components of morphogenetic loci in mammals as well. As a step toward understanding the function of mammalian homeoboxes, we have used in situ hybridization to define the spatial pattern of expression of two mouse homeobox genes in the midgestational mouse embryo. The two mouse homeoboxes studied here, Hox 1.2 and Hox 1.4, are located 20 kilobases apart on mouse chromosome 6. Our results demonstrate the following: (i) Hox 1.2 transcripts are localized mainly in the posterior myelencephalon, in the cervical central nervous system (CNS), and in several thoracic prevertebrae; (ii) Hox 1.4 transcripts are localized mainly in the posterior myelencephalon and in the cervical CNS; (iii) within the CNS region expressing Hox 1.4, the level of Hox 1.4 transcripts is higher in the mantle layer than in the ependymal layer and higher in the dorsal than in the ventral area. The specific localization of Hox 1.2 and Hox 1.4 transcripts in the embryonic CNS and the restricted pattern of expression along the rostrocaudal axis are strikingly reminiscent of the expression pattern of Drosophila homeoboxes in the fly embryo and larvae. Despite the different developmental strategies adopted by Drosophila and mammals, functional similarities may exist between Drosophila and mammalian homeobox genes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
