The Rhox5 Homeobox Gene Regulates the Region-Specific Expression of Its Paralogs in the Rodent Epididymis1
16 Mar 2012
Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms by which the region-specific expression patterns of clustered genes evolve are poorly understood. The epididymis is an ideal organ to examine this, as it is a highly segmented tissue that differs significantly in structure between closely related species. Here we examined this issue through analysis of the rapidly evolving X-linked reproductive homeobox (Rhox) gene cluster, the largest known...
