Genomic and phylogenetic assessment of sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) Hox genes and analysis of Hox genes in association with myomeres across multiple lamprey genera

Lampreys are an important model for the study of early vertebrate development due to their unique evolutionary position as one of only two extant jawless vertebrates. In this study, 12 new putative Hox gene fragments were identified within the recently available Petromyzon marinus (sea lamprey) geno...
