Hox transcription factors play a conserved role in specifying positional identity during animal development, with posterior Hox genes typically repressing the expression of more anterior Hox genes.

Function and specificity of Hox genes
The Hox genes specify different structures along the anteroposterior axis of bilaterians. They code for transcription factors including a conserved domain, the homeodomain, that binds DNA. The specificity of Hox function is determined by each gene controlling the expression of different groups of downstream genes.

Trigeminal and facial branchiomotor neurons have shared muscle targets in zebrafish larvae
Cranial nerve innervation map, based on previous studies, shows the trigeminal and facial motor nerves confined to the mandibular and hyoid arch muscles, respectively, except for the trigeminal nerve in the interhyoideus muscle (M.IH). The revised cranial nerve innervation map, based on this study, shows the facial nerve in the intermandibularis ...

The silk gland of the silkworm Bombyx mori is a long tubular organ that is divided into several subparts along its anteroposterior (AP) axis. As a trait of terminal differentiation of the silk gland, several silk protein genes are expressed with unique ...

Arboreal signals in the skeletal proportions of the Gorilla foot
Differences in arboreal behavior among gorilla populations are correlated with the relative lengths of their pedal digital elements. Bwindi gorillas have third and fourth metatarsals relatively shorter than those of more arboreal western lowland gorillas and longer than those of more terrestrial Virunga gorillas, while hallux and proximal phalangeal ...

We report the identification of 10 new human homeobox sequences. Altogether, we have isolated and sequenced 30 human homeoboxes clustered in 4 chromosomal regions called HOX loci. HOX1 includes 8 homeoboxes in 90 kb of DNA on chromosome 7. HOX2 includes 9 homeoboxes in 180 kb on chromosome 17. HOX3 contains at least 7 homeoboxes in 160 kb on chromosome

Biological Biomarkers in Proliferative Verrucous Leukoplakia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
ABSTRACT Objective To synthesise biological biomarker evidence in proliferative verrucous leukoplakia/proliferative leukoplakia and quantify malignant transformation using eligible longitudinal evidence. Methods Primary human biomarker studies and longitudinal studies reporting extractable malignant‐transformation events and denominators were ...

Hox genes and embryonic development
The hox genes specify regional differences along the anterior-posterior (A/P) axis of the vertebrate embryo. This function appears to reflect an ancestral role of the hox gene complex and is conserved across phyla. During the evolution of vertebrates, this gene complex has been recruited to perform other functions as well, many of which occur later in ...
