Evolution of a regulatory gene family: HOM/HOX genes.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Dec 1993

Kappen C, Ruddle F H

Abstract excerpt

With the increasing accumulation of data on the presence of the HOM/HOX class of homeobox genes in the animal kingdom, and with new comparative analyses of these data, strong evolutionary conservation is apparent. It is clear that HOM/HOX genes and their roles in pattern formation were established early during the evolution of major phyla. The functional indications that this system is utilized in quite diverged...
