This study shows that extensive disruption of HoxA/D genes in zebrafish does not cause visible defects in anterior vertebral patterning, suggesting HoxB/C genes play a more critical role.

This study investigates the role of HoxA- and HoxD-related clusters in zebrafish pectoral fin development by analyzing mutants with combined gene deletions and finds that their simultaneous deletion causes significant developmental defects.
