Abstract excerpt
HOX genes are a family of regulatory genes that encode transcription factors and are essential during embryonic development. These genes are highly conserved between species such that all metazoans possess a common genetic system for embryonic patterning. This system is conserved in the reproductive tract, where HOX genes are involved in the development of the müllerian system. The reproductive tract is unusual...
