Here, we provide an update of our review on homeobox genes that we wrote together with
Walter Gehring in 1994. Since then, comprehensive surveys of homeobox genes have …

Many homeobox genes encode transcription factors with regulatory roles in animal and
plant development. Homeobox genes are found in almost all eukaryotes, and have …

The full complement of homeobox transcription factor sequences, including genes and
pseudogenes, was determined from the analysis of 10 complete genomes from flowering …

The phylogenetic position of amphioxus, together with its relatively simple and evolutionarily
conserved morphology and genome structure, has led to its use as a model for studies of …

Bilaterally symmetric motor patterns—those in which left-right pairs of muscles contract
synchronously and with equal amplitude (such as breathing, smiling, whisking, and …

Alternative oxidase (AOX), a ubiquinol oxidase, introduces a branch point into the
respiratory electron transport chain, bypassing complexes III and IV and resulting in cyanide …

Sponges are simple animals with few cell types, but their genomes paradoxically contain a
wide variety of developmental transcription factors,,,, including homeobox genes belonging …

Background Despite the biological and economic significance of scleractinian reef-building
corals, the lack of large molecular datasets for a representative range of species limits …

Initial axial patterning of the neural tube into forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain primordia
occurs during gastrulation. After this patterning phase, further diversification within the brain …

Background Schistosomiasis, or bilharzia, is a parasitic disease caused by trematode
flatworms of the genus Schistosoma. Infection by Schistosoma mansoni in humans results …
