The dynamics of vertebrate homeobox gene evolution: gain and loss of genes in mouse and human lineages
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Homeobox genes are a large and diverse group of genes, many of which play important roles in transcriptional regulation during embryonic development. Comparison of homeobox genes between species may provide insights into the evolutio...
