## Abstract Compared with other diploid teleosts (2__n__=48), anguilloid fish have a specialized karyotype (2__n__=38) and remarkable morphological variation, and represent one basal group species of teleosts. To investigate the __Hox__ gene/cluster inventory in basal teleosts, a PCRβbased survey o

## Abstract __Hox__ paralog group 2 (PG2) genes function to specify the development of the hindbrain and pharyngeal archβderived structures in the Osteichthyes. In this article, we describe the cDNA cloning and embryonic expression analysis of Japanese medaka (__Oryzias latipes__) __Hox__ PG2 genes
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
## Abstract Linkage analyses in metazoan genomes suggest two ancestral arrays for the majority of homeobox genes. The related homeobox genes and chromosomal regions that are dispersed in extant species derived possibly from only two single common ancestor regions. One proposed ancestral array, desi
