Hox genes and their relatives are involved in several developmental processes in diverse animals, but when did they first arise? The genome sequence of the sponge Amphimedon queenslandica shows ...

Mouse homeobox genes are called “box” genes; specific hox genes are known to be expressed in fetal mouse lungs. We hypothesize that hox gene expression in fetal lung is developmentally ...

Osamu Chisaka (University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City): “This paper is the first report about mice with an inactivated Hox gene— mammalian homologues of fruit fly homeotic genes that ...

In order for the pair of wings and the pair of halteres (as well as all other parts of the fly) to develop properly, the fly's suite of Hox genes must be expressed in a precise way and at precise ...
