Abstract excerpt
The Pax gene family consists of tissue-specific transcriptional regulators that always contain a highly conserved DNA-binding domain with six alpha-helices (paired domain), and, in many cases, a complete or residual homeodomain. Numerous genes of this family have been identified in animals, with the largest number found in vertebrates. Our evolutionary analyses indicate that the vertebrate Pax gene family...
