• At that point, sharing the excitement of my colleagues, I wrote a column in November 1985 entitled "Geoffroy and the Homeobox," suggesting that the presence of homeoboxes in both insects and vertebrates might validate Geoffroy's vision of common design.

• Now some of the evidence on that have come from gene expression data, homeobox gene expression in particular.

• OK, can somebody tell me what the homeobox genes are often called Hox genes?

• Processed pseudogenes such as POU class 5 homeobox 1B (POU5F1B) that are highly homologous to OCT4 were recently shown to be transcribed in cancer cells.

• No one knew how the transcribed protein might function (with its 60 amino acids according to the genetic code of 3 base pairs per amino acid), but its presence within homeotic genes led to its designation as the "homeobox."

  Academic text (1992)

• Researchers found that homeobox genes play a crucial role in determining the body plan during embryonic development.

• The homeobox is a vital DNA sequence that regulates the expression of developmental genes in many species.

• Scientists study homeobox genes to understand how organisms develop specific body structures and segments.
