Evolutionary plasticity in nematode Hox gene complements and genomic loci arrangement

Evolutionary plasticity in nematode Hox gene complements and genomic loci arrangement

Abstract Hox genes are central to metazoan body plan formation, patterning and evolution, playing a critical role in cell fate decisions early in embryonic development in invertebrates and vertebrates. While the archetypical Hox gene cluster consists of members of nine ortholog groups (HOX1-HOX9), a...
