The gut of vertebrates exhibits a common anteroposterior regional differentiation. The role of homeobox genes in establishing this pattern is inferred by their sites of expression. It is suggested that the primary source of positional information is in the endoderm, which subsequently establishes a
## Abstract β__Hox__ cluster typeβ genes have sparked intriguing attempts to unite all metazoan animals by a shared pattern of expression and genomic organization of a specific set of regulatory genes. The basic idea, the zootype concept, claims the conservation of a specific set of β__Hox__ cluste
Ever since Darwin there has been a history of debate on the tempo and mode of evolution. Is speciation a gradual process involving the accumulation of minute variations extant within a species, or is it rapid, the result of major organismal reorganization? Does one define a species on the basis of g
