Hunchbacked
Definition:
(a.) Having a humped back.
Example Sentences:
(1) According to genetic analysis, the spatial limits of the Kr expression domain are controlled by the morphogenetic activities of the anterior organizer gene bicoid (bcd) and the anterior gap gene hunchback (hb).
(2) This pattern of expression is altered in mutants for a gap gene (hunchback) and a pair-rule gene (fushi tarazu).
(3) The graded distribution of bcd protein defines position along the anterior-posterior axis of the embryo through the spatially restricted activation of subordinate targets such as the gap gene hunchback (hb).
(4) Ectopic expression of tll under the control of an inducible promoter results in differentiation of ectopic terminal-specific structures, the Filzkörper, and leads to the activation of at least one gene, hunchback, that is required to form these structures.

(7) Most of the thoracic and abdominal segments of Drosophila are specified early in embryogenesis by the overlapping activities of the hunchback (hb), Krüppel, knirps, and giant gap genes.
(8) Previous genetic studies suggest that one of the stripes, stripe 2, is initiated by the maternal morphogen bicoid (bcd) and the gap protein hunchback (hb), while the borders of the stripe are formed by selective repression, involving the gap protein giant (gt) in anterior regions and the Krüppel (Kr) protein in posterior regions.
(9) Within this hunchback-free domain the pattern of abdominal segments must be specified by other morphogens, possibly by shorter range gradients of the products of zygotic gap genes Kruppel, knirps and tailless.
