| Research Abstract |
We identified Hox transcriptional networks which have key roles in regulating the patterning of the antero-posterior axis at phylotypic stage in a metazoan embryo. We conducted bioinformatics methods including promoter analysis on Hox regulating genes in each evolutionary stage and anatomical structure which were retrieved from public gene expression database. We then compared Hox transcriptional networks among mouse, sea squirt, and fruit fly.
