Scientists engineer synthetic DNA to study 'architect' genes: Building artificial Hox genes enables researchers to see how cells learn their location in the body - Science Daily

Researchers have created artificial Hox genes -- which plan and direct where cells go to develop tissues or organs -- using new synthetic DNA technology and genomic engineering in stem cells. Their findings confirm how clusters of Hox genes help cells to lear…
