HOX-Gene Cluster Organization and Genome Duplications in Fishes and Mammals: Transcript Variant Distribution along the Anterior–Posterior Axis
Hox genes play a crucial role in morphogenesis, especially in anterior–posterior body axis patterning. The organization of Hox clusters in vertebrates is a result of several genome duplications: two rounds of duplication in the ancestors of all vertebrates and a third round that was specific for tel...
