Hox genes in the antarctic polyplacophoran Nuttallochiton mirandus
Abstract Hox genes are conserved across all bilaterians and encode transcription factors involved in the formation of the anteroposterior axis during embryo development. Differences in homeotic gene evolution have been observed not only between deuterostomes and protostomes, but also between the two...

Abstract Hox genes are conserved across all bilaterians and encode transcription factors involved in the formation of the anteroposterior axis during embryo development.
