Abstract

Presents an analysis of the evolution of vertebrate Hox genes and clusters, with emphasis on the differences between the Hox A clusters of fish and tetrapod lineages. Discussion of the Hox case for a teleost-specific genome duplication; Insights from variation in Hox-cluster A; Cladistic reconstruction of the evolution of Hox A clusters in invertebrates.
