Abstract excerpt
Research on expression patterns of Hox genes has revealed a surprisingly high conservation among vertebrates. In agreement with this conservation, a correlation has been found between the anterior limits of expression areas of certain Hox genes and the borders between morphological regions of the vertebral axis. These similarities are striking and important, but also counterintuitive, unless there are strong...
