Hox genes in development and evolution of distal limbs
FY 2020-21
Summary
Genes of the Hox family are critical for the proper development of the embryo as illustrated by numerous defects associated with mutations in Hox genes. My research is aimed at understanding the function of the Hox genes in limb development. In particular, we propose to investigate how Hox13 genes implement the formation of digits, which are essential for a vast majority of activity in human life.
