Hox genes, a subset of homeobox genes, are a group of related genes that specify regions of the body plan of an embryo along the head-tail axis of animals. Hox proteins encode and specify …

The Hox genes are a set of transcription factor genes that exhibit an unusual property: They provide a glimpse of one way in which gene expression is translated into the many different...

Hox genes code for proteins that attach to molecular switches on DNA, turning other genes on and off. The DNA-binding piece of a Hox protein is called the homeodomain, and it's encoded …

Hox genes are members of the homeotic transcription factor family that play a key role in controlling the body plan along the cranio-caudal axis (also referred to as anterior–posterior), …

Hox genes encode evolutionarily conserved transcription factors that are essential for the proper development of bilaterian organisms. Hox genes are unique because they are spatially and …

Indeed, one of the most remarkable pieces of evidence for deep homologies among all the animals of the world is provided by the Hox genes. As mentioned in Chapter 11, not only are …

2024年11月20日 · We analyse HOX gene expression across cell types during development, finding that neural-crest derivatives unexpectedly retain the anatomical HOX code of their …

2025年2月11日 · Hox genes, a subset of homeotic genes, are integral to the genetic framework determining an organism’s body plan during embryonic development. Highly conserved across …

2010年4月1日 · Hox genes, a highly conserved subgroup of the homeobox superfamily, have crucial roles in development, regulating numerous processes including apoptosis, receptor …

Hox genes were originally called homeotic genes when first described in Drosophila due to their dramatic ability to transform an entire appendage or segment from one identity to another .
