Hox genes are developmental regulatory genes that function to pattern the cranial nerves that are derived from the rhombomeres (r) during vertebrate embryonic development. Hoxb3, in particular, has been shown to be expressed in r5-7 in several tetrapod species, including mouse (Mus musculus). Over t...
