Abstract
⺠We reveal Hox gene expression in the second heart field (SHF). ⺠Expression of Hox genes in the SHF defines new cardiac progenitor sub-domains. ⺠Contribution of cardiac Hox-positive cells demonstrates pre-patterning of the SHF. ⺠Expression of Hox genes in the SHF depends on Retinoic Acid (RA) signaling. ⺠Cardiac contributions of Hox-positive SHF cells are RA sensitive.
