Hox gene function and interaction in the milkweed bug Oncopeltus fasciatus (Hemiptera)

Studies in genetic model organisms such as Drosophila have demonstrated that the homeotic complex (Hox) genes impart segmental identity during embryogenesis. Comparative studies in a wide range of other insect taxa have shown that the Hox genes are expressed in largely conserved domains along the an...
