Abstract excerpt
Understanding the evolution of metazoan bauplans is linked to understanding the evolution of Hox and ParaHox genes. At the base of metazoan radiation we see in both cases a quite confusing picture yet. Here Cnox-2 is one of the best studied diploblast Hox genes. Homologs of this gene are known from Placozoa and several Cnidaria. In those cases where full length gene sequences, or at least full length homeobox...
