Functional evolution of the Ultrabithorax protein.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 18 Jan 2000

Grenier J K, Carroll S B

Abstract excerpt

The Hox genes have been implicated as central to the evolution of animal body plan diversity. Regulatory changes both in Hox expression domains and in Hox-regulated gene networks have arisen during the evolution of related taxa, but there is little knowledge of whether functional changes in Hox proteins have also contributed to morphological evolution. For example, the evolution of greater numbers of...
