Functional dissection of the Drosophila melanogaster bithoraxoid Polycomb response element

During the development of Drosophila melanogaster, the Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins act through complex, modular elements termed Polycomb response elements (PREs) to maintain the silent state of the homeotic and other loci. The bithoraxoid (bxd) 5.1 PRE of the homeotic gene Ultrabithorax (Ubx) i...
