To help elucidate the cluster organization of Hox genes in echinoderms, we amplified a homeobox region by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and cloned and sequenced the PCR products for the comatulid crinoid Oxycomanthus japonicus and the ophiuroid Stegophiura sladeni. The crinoid had at least three a
