Sox genes in the coral <it>Acropora millepora</it>: divergent expression patterns reflect differences in developmental mechanisms within the Anthozoa

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Sox genes encode transcription factors that function in a wide range of developmental processes across the animal kingdom. To better understand both the evolution of the Sox family and the roles of these genes in cnidarians, we are s...
