AXIS HOMOLOGS. “Different gene networks are responsible for patterning each axis. For example, Hox genes play an evolutionary conserved role in pattering the A-P axis of all bilaterians studied to date. Patterning of the D-V axis in both vertebrates and insects depends on the activities of decapentaplegic (dpp) and short gastrulation (sog) homologs.”
