Article Synopsis
- Hox and ParaHox genes are crucial for shaping the body axis in Bilateria, but their exact function in Cnidarians is unclear due to limited research.
- This study uses Hydra, a Cnidarian, to investigate Hox-like genes and identifies six genes, revealing connections to Bilaterian Hox genes.
- Findings show that Cnidarian Hox-like genes, particularly Hox1_HVUL, are involved in key developmental processes, but there is no unified Hox-code in Cnidaria as seen in Bilateria.
