Abstract
We report the cloning and expression during limb development of the chicken Slit1, Slit2, and Slit3 ligands, and Robo1 and Robo2 receptor genes. We also compare the expression patterns of Robo1 and Robo2 in developing chick and mouse hindlimbs. These genes are expressed in regions of muscle development, chrondrogenesis, and axon guidance.
