Hox Gene Loss during Dynamic Evolution of the Nematode Cluster.
HOX GENES ARE IMPORTANT: their central role in anterior-posterior patterning provides a framework for molecular comparison of animal body plan evolution. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans stands out as having a greatly reduced Hox gene complement. To address this, orthologs of C. elegans Hox genes...
