This study shows that hoxba and hoxbb clusters are essential for positioning zebrafish pectoral fins by inducing tbx5a expression and maintaining retinoic acid responsiveness.

The study identifies a transposon insertion in the hoxc12a 3' UTR of widefins medaka that reduces hox gene expression and causes phenotypic variation in fin rays.

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.
