Panarthropod tiptop/teashirt and spalt orthologs and their potential role as “trunk”-selector genes

Abstract Background In the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster, the homeodomain containing transcription factor Teashirt (Tsh) appears to specify trunk identity in concert with the function of the Hox genes. While in Drosophila there is a second gene closely related to tsh, called tiptop (tio), in o...
