Onychophoran Hox genes and the evolution of arthropod Hox gene expression [PDF]
Frontiers in Zoology, 2014 Onychophora is a relatively small phylum within Ecdysozoa, and is considered to be the sister group to Arthropoda. Compared to the arthropods, that have radiated into countless divergent forms, the onychophoran body plan is overall comparably simple and does not display much in-phylum variation.

F1000Research, 2016 Hox proteins are a deeply conserved group of transcription factors originally defined for their critical roles in governing segmental identity along the antero-posterior (AP) axis in Drosophila .

Genomic organization and expression demonstrate spatial and temporal Hox gene colinearity in the lophotrochozoan Capitella sp. I. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Hox genes define regional identities along the anterior-posterior axis in many animals. In a number of species, Hox genes are clustered in the genome, and the relative order of genes corresponds with position of expression in the body.

Reduction of Hox gene expression by histone H1 depletion. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The evolutionarily conserved homeotic (Hox) genes are organized in clusters and expressed collinearly to specify body patterning during embryonic development.

HOX genes in ovarian cancer [PDF]
Journal of Ovarian Research, 2011 Abstract The HOX genes are a family of homeodomain-containing transcription factors that determine cellular identity during development. Here we review a number of recent studies showing that HOX genes are strongly expressed in ovarian cancer, and that in some cases the expression of specific HOX genes is sufficient to confer a particular ...

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2021 Homeobox proteins, encoded by HOX genes, are transcriptional factors playing a crucial role in the master regulatory pathway in the cells. Any mutations in HOX genes will affect the expression of its allied proteins. Such mutations were correlated to the

Hox genes are not always Colinear [PDF]
International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2006 The deuterostomes are the clade of animals for which we have the most detailed understanding of Hox cluster organisation. With the Hox cluster of amphioxus (Branchiostoma floridae) we have the best prototypical, least derived Hox cluster for the group ...

Evolution of Cyclostome Hox Clusters [PDF]
, 2023 Hagfish and lampreys represent the only two lineages of agnathan (jawless) vertebrates that have survived to the present day, and both form the monophyletic group of cyclostomes, which is sister to the rest of the vertebrates, the gnathostomes (jawed ...

Zoological Letters, 2017 Background Hox gene clusters with at least 13 paralog group (PG) members are common in vertebrate genomes and in that of amphioxus. Ascidians, which belong to the subphylum Tunicata (Urochordata), are phylogenetically positioned between vertebrates and ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Body axial patterning develops via a rostral-to-caudal sequence and relies on the temporal colinear activation of Hox genes. However, the underlying mechanism of Hox gene temporal colinear activation remains largely elusive.
