Altogether, multicellular organisms like humans have thousands of differentiated ... the fly's suite of Hox genes must be expressed in a precise way and at precise times. Gene switches such ...

A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant food and water, personal space is essential to prevent societal collapse, but Universe 25's relevance to humans remains disputed.

“[This was] striking, because we know that the Hox cluster is very conservative in terms of gene order,” said Elise Parey, an evolutionary biologist at University College London and a study coauthor.

This study fills a crucial gap in our understanding of blood cell formation from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). Genome-wide comparisons of hPSC-derived blood progenitor cells with in vivo blood ...

Hox genes and their relatives are involved in several developmental processes in diverse animals, but when did they first arise? The genome sequence of the sponge Amphimedon queenslandica shows ...
