Phylogenetic and chromosomal analyses of multiple gene families syntenic with vertebrate Hox clusters

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Ever since the theory about two rounds of genome duplication (2R) in the vertebrate lineage was proposed, the Hox gene clusters have served as the prime example of quadruplicate paralogy in mammalian genomes. In teleost fishes, the o...
