TI  - A gene complex controlling segmentation in Drosophila.
PG  - 565-70
AB  - The bithorax gene complex in Drosophila contains a minimum of eight genes that
      seem to code for substances controlling levels of thoracic and abdominal
      development. The state of repression of at least four of these genes is
      controlled by cis-regulatory elements and a separate locus (Polycomb) seems to
      code for a repressor of the complex. The wild-type and mutant segmentation
      patterns are consistent with an antero-posterior gradient in repressor
      concentration along the embryo and a proximo-distal gradient along the chromosome
      in the affinities for repressor of each gene's cis-regulatory element.
