Within Hox gene clusters are loci that encode microRNAs (miRNAs). These include: miR-10, found throughout Bilateria; miR-196, found in vertebrates; and miR-iab4, found in insects. Hox miRNAs ...

Hox genes encode DNA-binding proteins that are deployed in overlapping domains along various body axes during embryonic development. This sequential activation of Hox genes in temporal and spatial ...

The canonical Wnt signaling pathway and its downstream Hox gene mab-5 direct QL.ap posterior migration, and in mab-5 or mig-14 [Wntless ortholog essential for Wnt secretion (30)] mutants, QL.ap ...
