Evolutionary origin and genomic organisation of runt-domain containing genes in arthropods
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Gene clusters, such as the <it>Hox </it>gene cluster, are known to have critical roles in development. In eukaryotes gene clusters arise primarily by tandem gene duplication and divergence. Genes within a cluster are ofte...
