Hox Modules in Evolution and Development

Hox Modules in Evolution and Development

Hox Modules in Evolution and Development offers an in-depth look at the influence of hox genes in shaping evolution and development. Often central to evo devo studies, these genes play critical roles in body plan patterning across the animal kingdom. The book highlights the unique aspects of genome organisation, such as gene clusters, gene position, and gene expression during embryogenesis.

Through detailed insights into multiple clades, the text explores how genome sequences and species diversity have advanced understanding of evolutionary processes. By integrating advances in genome sequencing, genetic tools, and expression detection, it offers new perspectives on embryo patterning, gene regulation, and the emergence of evolutionary novelties.

The discussion further extends to homology, phylogeny, and the impact of gene duplications and genome duplications on evolutionary history. With emphasis on ancestral states, this resource provides a broad context for appreciating the role of animals in evolutionary cell biology.
