These epigenetic mechanisms act to maintain the fate of cells by doing what the Hox genes and other transcription ... key to the success of multicellular plants and animals, including the most ...

Hox genes and their relatives are involved in several developmental processes in diverse animals, but when did they first arise? The genome sequence of the sponge Amphimedon queenslandica shows ...

Hox genes are a group of approximately 40 genes that control the anterior-posterior axial development in all animals that show such polarity. Much interest surrounds the precise regulation of this ...
