Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The role of the bithorax complex (BX-C) in the genome of the fruitfly Drosophila is to specify the developmental pathways followed by cells in most of the insect's thoracic and abdominal segments. The BX-C has three lethal complementation groups, Ubx, abd-A and Abd-B, which have their major effects in progressively more posterior parts of the animal (Fig. 1) . Within the Ubx region there are four phenotypically distinct classes of mutations, abx, bx, bxd and pbx, each of which results in a part of the Ubx mutant phenotype. Here we show that these subfunction mutations all affect the distribution of Ubx proteins. The results support the view that the Ubx proteins represent the executive functions of the Ubx region and that the subfunction mutations affect regulatory regions required for the normal pattern of Ubx expression. In addition, we show that the region of the BX-C containing the abd-A and Abd-B complementation groups regulates the distribution of Ubx products. © 1985 Nature Publishing Group.
