One of the most remarkable recent findings in developmental biology has been the colinear and homologous relationships shared between the Drusuphila HOM-C and vertebrate Hox homeobox gene complexes. These relationships pose the question of the functional significance of colincarity and its molecular
In order to test current hypotheses on the early evolution of Antp-class (HOM/Hox) genes in metazoan animals, we surveyed the diploblastic hydrozoan Eleutheria dichotoma for the presence of these genes. By means of PCR with different sets of degenerate primers, three new homeobox sequences were iden
