Abstract
We will clone by PCR and inverse PCR the Antp-class Hox genes from representatives of the major myriapod groups (Chilopoda, Diplopoda, Pauropoda and Symphyla) and from apterygote insects (Thysanura, Collembola). Gene linkage will be investigated by pulse field electrophoresis. These data will be used, in conjunction with existing data for insects, crustaceans, chelicerates and annelids, to determine how sequence and structural analyses of Hox genes may be useful for the resolution of relationships at the levels of classes and phyla.
