High impact information on homeobox

  • How the homeobox genes evolved during and after the main radiation of the bilaterians remains poorly understood, as only a few animal genomes have been sequenced completely [1].
  • pha-2 is the Caenorhabditis elegans homolog of the vertebrate homeobox gene Hex [2].
  • We positionally cloned cog-1 and found that it encodes a homeobox protein most similar to the mammalian GTX and Nkx6.1 proteins [3].
  • One such gene, the LIM homeobox gene ttx-3, is known to be involved in the specification of the AIY neuronal subtype [4].
