“…There is another arthropod, the geophilomorph centipede Pachymerium ferrugineum (Myriapoda), that contains two copies of the Dfd gene [16]. However, these two centipede Dfd genes are more similar to each other than to any of the spider genes (Fig.…”

“…Two copies of the Deformed ( Dfd ) gene have been described for Achaearanea [14], and a duplicated Ultrabithorax ( Ubx ) gene has been described for Cupiennius [15]. In addition to these chelicerates there is one example of a duplicated Hox gene in a myriapod; a duplicated Dfd gene has been described for the geophilomorph centipede Pachymerium ferrugineum [16]. …”

Background: Hox genes are expressed in specific domains along the anterior posterior body axis and define the regional identity. In most animals these genes are organized in a single cluster in the genome and the order of the genes in the cluster is correlated with the anterior to posterior expression of the genes in the embryo. The conserved order of the various Hox gene orthologs in the cluster among most bilaterians implies that such a Hox cluster was present in their last common ancestor. Vertebrates are the only metazoans so far that have been shown to contain duplicated Hox clusters, while all other bilaterians seem to possess only a single cluster.

“…Some of these (Bastianello et al, 2002;Hughes and Kaufman, 2002) involve Hox genes and so do not directly concern us here. However, others (Bastianello and Minelli, 2001;Kettle et al, 2002) focused on the segmentation gene engrailed and so are relevant to the formation of segments and the determination of segment number.…”

“…For example, Nie et al (2001) reported that Tribolium (Coleoptera) lacked the intron in the lab homeobox. Furthermore, Popodi et al (1996) and Bastianello et al (2002) did not detect the intron in lab, pb and AbdB in lower invertebrate and deuterostome homeoboxes. This suggests that the intron in these three homeobox genes may be a Diptera-specific molecular character, although more comprehensive survey work should be done.…”

Forty-five new Homeotic Complex (HOM-C) homeobox sequences from six species of Drosophilidae (Drosophila heteroneura, D. adiastola, Zaprionus vittiger, Chymomyza amoena, Scaptodrosophila pattersoni and Hirtodrosophila pictiventris) were obtained using a PCR-cloning method. These new homeoboxes are from the labial, proboscipedia, Deformed, Sex combs reduced, fushi tarazu, Antennapedia, Ultrabithorax, abdominal-A and Abdominal-B genes. Phylogenetic signal in the homeobox sequences was assessed and several aspects of sequence evolution were examined. In particular, codon bias was examined and found to exist between the drosophilid species examined here and Anopheles gambiae outgroup sequences. In addition, different patterns of codon bias were detected in homeoboxes interrupted with introns when compared to homeoboxes that are uninterrupted.
