Evidence for 14 homeobox gene clusters in human genome ancestry
The arrangement of Hox genes into physical clusters is fundamental to the patterning of animal body plans. Other homeobox genes are often described as dispersed, with only occasional examples of linkage reported, such as the amphioxus ParaHox and Drosophila 93D/E clusters. This clustering is unlikely to be the derived condition, as the genes of the ParaHox and 93D/E clusters are phylogeneticall...
متن کاملDispersal of NK homeobox gene clusters in amphioxus and humans.
The Drosophila melanogaster genome has six physically clustered NK-related homeobox genes in just 180 kb. Here we show that the NK homeobox gene cluster was an ancient feature of bilaterian animal genomes, but has been secondarily split in chordate ancestry. The NK homeobox gene clusters of amphioxus and vertebrates are each split and dispersed at two equivalent intergenic positions. From the a...
متن کاملVisual field map clusters in human cortex.
We describe the location and general properties of nine human visual field maps. The cortical location of each map, as well as many examples of the eccentricity and angular representations within these maps, are shown in a series of images that summarize a large set of functional MRI data. The organization and properties of these maps are compared and contrasted with descriptions by other inves...

SNYDER, ERIC E., BRANDON WALTS, LOUIS PÉRUSSE, YVON C. CHAGNON, S. JOHN WEISNAGEL, TUOMO RANKINEN, AND CLAUDE BOUCHARD. The human obesity gene map: the 2003 update. Obes Res. 2004;12:369–439. This is the tenth update of the human obesity gene map, incorporating published results up to the end of October 2003 and continuing the previous format. Evidence from single-gene mutation obesity cases, M...
متن کاملEvolution of Homeobox Gene Clusters in Animals: The Giga-Cluster and Primary vs. Secondary Clustering
The Hox gene cluster has been a major focus in evolutionary developmental biology. This is because of its key role in patterning animal development and widespread examples of changes in Hox genes being linked to the evolution of animal body plans and morphologies. Also, the distinctive organization of the Hox genes into genomic clusters in which the order of the genes along the chromosome corre...
