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 Multiple studies indicate that quantitative control of the levels of allβ__trans__βretinoic acid (RA) in the vertebrate embryo is necessary for correct development. The function of RA in cells is regulated by a number of coordinated mechanisms. One of those mechanisms involves controls
## Abstract The mouse conceptus is generally held to be radially symmetrical about its embryonicabembryonic axis from the blastocyst stage until the primitive streak appears at the beginning of gastrulation. However, this notion has been challenged by recent observations on conceptuses sectioned in
## 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
## Abstract Oligonucleotideβbased microarray analyses were carried out to identify retinoic acid target genes in embryos of the ascidian __Ciona intestinalis__. Of 21,938 spots, 50 (corresponding to 43 genes) showed over twofold upβregulation in retinoic acidβtreated tail bud embryos. In situ hybri
