Abstract excerpt
Hox genes encode transcription factors which provide positional information during morphogenesis along the body axis; genetic interaction among Hox genes is thought to be necessary for correct pattern formation. One of the most curious features of the 39 vertebrate Hox genes is that they form four clusters each composed of several genes paralogous between clusters. This raises the question are all four clusters...
