Comparative phylogenomic analyses of teleost fish Hox gene clusters: lessons from the cichlid fish <it>Astatotilapia burtoni</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Teleost fish have seven paralogous clusters of Hox genes stemming from two complete genome duplications early in vertebrate evolution, and an additional genome duplication during the evolution of ray-finned fish, followed by the seco...
