A subgroup of homeobox genes, which play an important role in the developmental processes of a variety of multicellular organisms, Hox genes have been shown to play a critical role in vertebrate pattern formation. Hox genes can be thought of as general purpose control genes--that is, they are similar in many organisms and direct the same processes in a variety of organisms, from mouse, to fly, to human. * Provides researchers an overview and synthesis of the latest research findings and contemporary thought in the area * Inclusion of chapters that discuss the evolutionary development...

In recent years, a number of molecular pathways and cellular processes that are essential for normal vertebrate development have been implicated in cancer initiation and progression. In this volume, leaders in the field of cancer genetics and developmental biology share recent insights into the importance of developmental pathways for tumorigenesis. These discoveries provide important avenues for innovative new approaches to treating some of the most challenging developmental tumors.
