The evolution of Runx genes I. A comparative study of sequences from phylogenetically diverse model organisms

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Runx genes encode proteins defined by the highly conserved Runt DNA-binding domain. Studies of Runx genes and proteins in model organisms indicate that they are key transcriptional regulators of animal development. However, little is...
