Adaptive evolution of Hox-gene homeodomains after cluster duplications
BACKGROUND: Hox genes code for homeodomain-containing transcription factors that function in cell fate determination and embryonic development. Hox genes are arranged in clusters with up to 14 genes. This archetypical chordate cluster has duplicated several times in vertebrates, once at the origin o...
