## Abstract The amphioxus __Hox__ cluster is often viewed as “archetypal” for the chordate lineage. Here, we present a descriptive account of the 448 kb region spanning the __Hox__ cluster of the amphioxus __Branchiostoma floridae__ from __Hox14__ to __Hox1__. We provide complete coding sequences o

## Abstract While the highly consistent gene order and axial colinear patterns of expression seem to be a feature of vertebrate hox gene clusters, this pattern may be less well conserved across the rest of the bilaterians. We report the first deuterostome instance of an intact hox cluster with a un
## Abstract Large‐scale gene amplifications may have facilitated the evolution of morphological innovations that accompanied the origin of vertebrates. This hypothesis predicts that the genomes of extant jawless fish, scions of deeply branching vertebrate lineages, should bear a record of these eve
