Evolution of the Alx homeobox gene family: parallel retention and independent loss of the vertebrate Alx3 gene

SUMMARY: The Alx gene family is implicated in craniofacial development and comprises two to four homeobox genes in each vertebrate genome analyzed. Using phylogenetics and comparative genomics, we show that the common ancestor of jawed vertebrates had three Alx genes descendent from the two-round ge...
