The Drosophila pair-rule gene odd-skipped (odd) and two related genes, sister of odd (sob) and bowel (bowl), encode zinc finger containing proteins, two of which play important roles in embryonic development probably functioning as transcription factors. Here we report the cloning and expression analysis of a mouse gene related to odd, odd-skipped related 1 (Osr1). During early embryogenesis Osr1 is expressed in the intermediate mesoderm and in a dynamic pattern during limb and branchial arch development.
