摘要
Xenoturbella bocki has recently been identified as one of the most basal deuterostomes, although an even more basal 系統發育 position cannot be ruled out. Here we report on a polymerase chain reaction survey of partial Hox homeobox sequences of X bocki. Surprisingly, we did not find evidence for more than five Hox genes, one clear labial/PG1 ortholog, one posterior gene most similar to the PG9/10 genes of Ambulacraria, and three central group genes whose precise assignment to a specific paralog group remains open. We furthermore report on a re-evaluation of the available published evidence of Hox genes in other basal deuterostomes.
