Abstract excerpt
Sox genes encode a family of transcription factors with important roles in metazoan development, including sex-determination, embryogenesis, neurogenesis, and skeletogenesis. We identified Sox genes in the Bombyx mori genome and characterized their evolution and expression patterns. Nine Sox genes were annotated, and could be classified into five groups, B-F. Four Sox genes in the B group were tandemly clustered...
