Here, we provide an update of our review on homeobox genes that we wrote together with
Walter Gehring in 1994. Since then, comprehensive surveys of homeobox genes have …

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Set1/COMPASS was the first histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4)
methylase identified over 10 years ago. Since then, it has been demonstrated that …

Many homeobox genes encode transcription factors with regulatory roles in animal and
plant development. Homeobox genes are found in almost all eukaryotes, and have …

Tardigrada, a phylum of meiofaunal organisms, have been at the center of discussions of the
evolution of Metazoa, the biology of survival in extreme environments, and the role of …

Developmental dyslexia is characterized by a severe reading problem in people who have
normal intelligence and schooling,,. Impaired reading of alphabetic scripts is associated with …

Once called the'Rosetta stone'of developmental biology, the homeobox continues to
fascinate both evolutionary and developmental biologists. The birth of the homeotic, or Hox …

Transcriptional regulation at the level of elongation is vital for the control of gene expression

Krüppel-type zinc finger (ZNF) motifs are prevalent components of transcription factor
proteins in all eukaryotes. KRAB-ZNF proteins, in which a potent repressor domain is …

Bilaterian animals are notably characterized by complex endocrine systems. The receptors
