Abstract excerpt
Despite an abundance of gene expression surveys, comparatively little is known about Hox gene function in Chelicerata. Previous investigations of paralogs of labial (lab) and Deformed (Dfd) in a spider have shown that these play a role in tissue maintenance of the pedipalp segment (lab-1) and in patterning the first walking leg identity (Dfd-1), respectively. However, extrapolations of these data across...
