A biophysical mechanism may control the collinearity of <it>Hoxd </it>genes during the early phase of limb development

<p>Abstract</p> <p>A biophysical model has been proposed which deals with the observed collinearity of <it>Hox </it>gene expressions in developing vertebrate limbs. It is assumed that physical forces gradually dislocate the genes of the <it>Hoxd </it>cluster...
