Rogue (vagrant)

A rogue is a vagrant person who wanders from place to place. Like a drifter, a rogue is an independent person who rejects conventional rules of society in favor of following their own personal goals and values.

In modern English language, the term rogue is used pejoratively to describe a dishonest or unprincipled person whose behavior one disapproves of, but who is nonetheless likeable and/or attractive.

History

The word rogue was first recorded in print in John Awdely's Fraternity of Vagabonds (1561), and then in Thomas Harman's Caveat for Common Cursitors (1566).

In England, the 1572 Vagabonds Act defined a rogue as a person who has no land, no master, and no legitimate trade or source of income; it included rogues in the class of idle vagrants or vagabonds. If a person were apprehended as a rogue, he would be stripped to the waist, whipped until bleeding, and a hole, about the compass of an inch about, would be burned through the cartilage of his right ear with a hot iron. A rogue who was charged with a second offense, unless taken in by someone who would give him work for one year, could face execution as a felony. A rogue charged with a third-offense would only escape death if someone hired him for two years.

Rogue (band)

Rogue were a British pop band who were active between 1975 and 1979, comprising Guy Fletcher, Al Hodge and John Hodkinson.

Band formation

In 1975 Fletcher, former Onyx guitarist Hodge, and former If-vocalist Hodkinson formed the soft-rock trio, Rogue, which released several singles, including "Dedication", "Cool Clear Air", "Lay Me Down", "Lady Put The Light Out", "Too Much Too Soon", "One to One", and "Borderline", as well as three albums. Their song "Fallen Angel" was a No. 12 hit in the Netherlands in January 1976; The band disbanded in 1979.

The band also produced a version of "Dedication" for London's Capital Radio, with the first line: "Capital's our local station."
Their song "Dedication" was covered by the Bay City Rollers on their 1976 album Dedication. Released as a single in the US, it made #60 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Frankie Valli's recording of their song "Fallen Angel" went to No. 11 in the UK Singles Chart in May 1976, before being featured in the Broadway show Jersey Boys.

DLX gene family

DLX is a family of homeodomain transcription factors which are related to the Drosophila distal-less (Dll) gene.

Distal-less itself, and its homologues, is involved in limb development in most of the major phyla, including vertebrates — suggesting that it was involved in appendage growth in an early bilaterial ancestor.

The family has been related to a number of developmental features. The family seems to be well preserved across species.

Known members of the family include DLX1 to DLX6. They form two-gene clusters (bigene clusters) with each other. There are DLX1-DLX2, DLX3-DLX4, DLX5-DLX6 clusters in vertebrates. Each of those are linked to a specific Hox gene cluster. In higher fishes, like Zebrafish, there are a couple of additional DLX genes, DLX5 and DLX8. In zebrafish the orthologous genes to vertebrate DLX5-DLX6 are DLX4 and DLX6, which form a bigene cluster in zebrafish. These additional genes are not linked with each other, or any other DLX gene.

DLX4, DLX7, DLX8 and DLX9 are the same gene in vertebrates. They're named differently, because every time the same gene was found, the researchers thought they had found a new gene.

DLX (disambiguation)

DLX may refer to:

DLX6

Homeobox protein DLX-6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DLX6 gene.

This gene encodes a member of a homeobox transcription factor gene family similar to the Drosophila distal-less gene. This family has at least six members that encode proteins with roles in forebrain and craniofacial development. This gene is in a tail-to-tail configuration with another member of the family on the long arm of chromosome 7.
