How can you use “hox” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
A similar phenotype is found in Hoxd-4 transgenic mice ( [ 1 ] and Kappen, manuscript in preparation) indicating that Hox transcription factors regulate chondrocyte development.
In summary, the gene expression profiles of primary chondrocytes from Hoxc-8 transgenic animals display notable differences in the expression of regulators of chondrocyte maturation in a pattern largely consistent with delayed chondrocyte maturation in vivo . These results now allow us to investigate whether any of these molecules is directly regulated by Hox transcription factors in chondrocytes.
This suggests that both Hox transcription factors may, in addition to the delay in chondrocyte maturation, induce specific changes in gene expression.
Besides the 18S rRNA evidence, other genetic evidence for the grouping of nematodes and arthropods has come from qualitative interpretations of Hox gene [ 10 ] and β-thymosin [ 12 ] evolution.
Not only have altered expression levels of HB genes been detected in a variety of human malignancies [ 8 11 12 13 14 ] , but the ectopic expression of certain HOX genes can induce tumors [ 15 16 17 ] . Abnormal HOX gene expression has been associated with breast cancer.
