Hox Genes Regulate Digit Patterning by Controlling the Wavelength of a Turing-Type Mechanism

The formation of repetitive structures (such as stripes) in nature is often consistent with a reaction-diffusion mechanism, or Turing model, of self-organizing systems. We used mouse genetics to analyze how digit patterning (an iterative digit/nondigit pattern) is generated. We showed that the progr...
