Functional specificity of the nematode Hox gene mab-5.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Mar 2003

Gutierrez Arturo, Knoch Lars, Witte Hanh, Sommer Ralf J

Abstract excerpt

Hox genes encode evolutionarily conserved transcription factors involved in morphological specification along the anteroposterior body axis of animals. The two most striking features of Hox genes are colinearity and the strong sequence conservation. Among all animals studied so far, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans contains one of the most divergent Hox clusters. The core cluster contains only four members,...
