Abstract
The surprising variation in the number of Hox clusters and the genomic architecture within vertebrate lineages, especially within the ray-finned fish, reflects a history of duplications and subsequent lineage-specific gene loss. Recent research on the evolution of conserved non-coding sequences (CNS) in Hox clusters promises to reveal interesting results for functional and phenotypic diversification.Mesh:
