Identification and characterization of homeobox transcription factor genes in strongylocentrotus purpuratus, and their expression in embryonic development

Article Abstract:

A study examines the homeodomain gene sequences of mouse, human and fly and compares them to the gene family of the sea urchin. The transcription factors of the genes is discussed.
