HOX Pro DB: the functional genomics of hox ensembles.

The HOX Pro database contains information about the organization, function and evolution of gene ensembles, notably the homeobox-containing genes. It is now clear that a subset of genes containing the homeobox motif play key roles in the orchestration of genes which control embryonic patterning, morphogenesis, cell differentiation and malignant transformation. The HOX Pro contains a broad spectrum of information including images, diagrams and animations.
