同源框是存在于节肢动物、环节动物和脊椎动物中的几个基因中的保守的蛋白质编码DNA序列1 -4。两个不同的类homoeo框已被确定的napedia（Antp）class 1，5和enrailed class 6 -8。在昆虫中，这两类基因都存在于调控发育的基因中。因此，我们调查了系统发育分布的Antp样homoeo盒，以探索它们的存在和发展策略之间的联系的可能性1，9-11。分布数据也提供了重要的洞察同源盒的起源和动物王国的植物发生。
The homoeo box is a conserved protein-coding DNA sequence present in several genes in arthropods, annelids and vertebrates1–4. Two distinct classes of homoeo box have been identified–the Antennapedia (Antp) class1,5 and the engrailed class6–8. In insects, both classes are found in genes involved in regulating development. We have therefore investigated the phylogenetic distribution of Antp-like homoeo boxes to explore the possibility of a link between their presence and developmental strategy1,9–11. The distribution data also give important insight into the origin of homoeo boxes and the phytogeny of the animal kingdom.
