Many Drosophila homeotic and segmentation genes contain a conserved             protein-coding sequence - the homeo box.  These genes function in the           morphogenetic programming of early Drosophila development and genes             homologous to the homeo box have been found in a wide variety of higher         animals including mouse and human.  A very realistic possibility is that        the homeo box may enable the identification and cloning of genes                controlling the patterning of early mammalian development.                                                                                                      Dr. McGinnis is attempting to determine whether the homeo box encodes           part of the morphogenetic programming function of homeotic genes.  He is        also studying the nature of the genetic functions that are included in          the Drosophila gene family with homeo box homology.  In addition he             will determine what role the homeo box genes of the mouse play in               development.                                                                                                                                                    Dr. McGinnis has made substantial contributions to the field of                 Developmental Biology by his discovery of the homeo box.                                                                                                        The Program recommends support for this outstanding young investigator.
