Hox Gene Clusters of Early Vertebrates: Do They Serve as Reliable Markers for Genome Evolution?

Hox genes, responsible for regional specification along the anteroposterior axis in embryogenesis, are found as clusters in most eumetazoan genomes sequenced to date. Invertebrates possess a single Hox gene cluster with some exceptions of secondary cluster breakages, while osteichthyans (bony verteb...
