Dissecting the evolutionary role of the Hox gene proboscipedia in Drosophila mouthpart diversification by full locus replacement

Hox genes determine positional codes along the head-to-tail axis. Here, we replaced the entire Drosophila melanogaster proboscipedia (pb) Hox locus, which controls the development of the proboscis and maxillary palps, with that from Drosophila mimica, a related species with highly modified mouthpart...
