Genome-Wide Analysis of Homeobox Gene Family in Legumes: Identification, Gene Duplication and Expression Profiling [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Homeobox genes encode transcription factors that are known to play a major role in different aspects of plant growth and development. In the present study, we identified homeobox genes belonging to 14 different classes in five legume species, including ...

Widespread employment of conserved C. elegans homeobox genes in neuronal identity specification.
PLoS Genetics, 2022 Homeobox genes are prominent regulators of neuronal identity, but the extent to which their function has been probed in animal nervous systems remains limited.

Conserved pleiotropy of an ancient plant homeobox gene uncovered by cis-regulatory dissection
Cell, 2021 Divergence of gene function is a hallmark of evolution, but assessing functional divergence over deep time is not trivial. The few alleles available for cross-species studies often fail to expose the entire functional spectrum of genes, potentially ...

The Homeobox Transcription Factor RHOX10 Drives Mouse Spermatogonial Stem Cell Establishment
Cell Reports, 2016 The developmental origins of most adult stem cells are poorly understood. Here, we report the identification of a transcription factor—RHOX10—critical for the initial establishment of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs).

Homeobox Gene Duplication and Divergence in Arachnids
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2018 Homeobox genes are key toolkit genes that regulate the development of metazoans and changes in their regulation and copy number have contributed to the evolution of phenotypic diversity.

The Homeobox Genes of Caenorhabditis elegans and Insights into Their Spatio-Temporal Expression Dynamics during Embryogenesis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Homeobox genes play crucial roles for the development of multicellular eukaryotes. We have generated a revised list of all homeobox genes for Caenorhabditis elegans and provide a nomenclature for the previously unnamed ones.
