The Drosophila Hox Gene Deformed Sculpts Head Morphology via Direct Regulation of the Apoptosis Activator reaper

Hox proteins control morphological diversity along the anterior-posterior body axis of animals, but the cellular processes they directly regulate are poorly understood. We show that during early Drosophila development, the Hox protein Deformed (Dfd) maintains the boundary between the maxillary and m...
