Foreign sequence; species == Mus musculus; gene == Hoxb1; MGI:96182.
A 20bp oligonucleotide from the 5' region of Mmus\Hoxb1, a homolog of lab, is sufficient to direct an expression pattern in Drosophila very similar to endogenous lab. This expression requires lab abd exd function.
Virtually all of the P{r4/lacZ} expression in Drosophila depends on the same three conserved sequence elements involved in regulating expression in the mouse and lab expression. Expression in the head and the visceral mesoderm requires exd function.
