Mouse fitness measures reveal incomplete functional redundancy of Hox paralogous group 1 proteins

Here we assess the fitness consequences of the replacement of the Hoxa1 coding region with its paralog Hoxb1 in mice (Mus musculus) residing in semi-natural enclosures. Previously, this Hoxa1(B1) swap was reported as resulting in no discernible embryonic or physiological phenotype (i.e., functionall...
