Genome-wide analysis of the sox family in the calcareous sponge <it>Sycon ciliatum</it>: multiple genes with unique expression patterns

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Sox genes are HMG-domain containing transcription factors with important roles in developmental processes in animals; many of them appear to have conserved functions among eumetazoans. Demosponges have fewer Sox genes than eumetazoan...
