Multiple chromosomal rearrangements structured the ancestral vertebrate Hox-bearing protochromosomes.
While the proposal that large-scale genome expansions occurred early in vertebrate evolution is widely accepted, the exact mechanisms of the expansion--such as a single or multiple rounds of whole genome duplication, bloc chromosome duplications, large-scale individual gene duplications, or some com...
