Sox genes in the coral Acropora millepora: divergent expression patterns reflect differences in developmental mechanisms within the Anthozoa

Chuya Shinzato, Akira Iguchi, David C Hayward, Ulrich Technau, Eldon E Ball, David J Miller BMC Evolutionary Biology 2008, 8:311 (12 November 2008)

An in-depth study of the Sox gene family in coral shows patterns and timing of expression that differ from those of sea anemones, reflecting the diversity of developmental mechanisms within the Hexacorallian subclass of Cnidaria.

Evolution of the insect Sox genes

Megan J Wilson, Peter K Dearden BMC Evolutionary Biology 2008, 8:120 (26 April 2008)

Although the Sox gene family have a conserved genomic organization, individual orthologs have significantly different expression patterns in Drosophila and Apis implying that this group of transcriptional regulators may be capable of rapidly evolving new functions.
