HOX gene complement and expression in the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea

HOX gene complement and expression in the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea

Abstract Background Freshwater planarians are well known for their regenerative abilities. Less well known is how planarians maintain spatial patterning in long-lived adult animals or how they re-pattern tissues during regeneration. HOX genes are good candidates to regulate planarian spatial pattern...
