Hox genes and the diversification of insect and crustacean body plans.

Nature - 3 Aug 1995

Averof M, Akam M

Abstract excerpt

Crustaceans and insects share a common origin of segmentation, but the specialization of trunk segments appears to have arisen independently in insects and various crustacean subgroups. Such macroevolutionary changes in body architecture may be investigated by comparative studies of conserved genetic markers. The Hox genes are well suited for this purpose, as they determine positional identity along the body axis...
