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 ...
