The “Hox genes” category gathers books centered on the master regulatory genes that pattern the animal body plan. Titles span accessible primers and popular science to advanced textbooks, lab manuals, and research monographs, covering how clustered homeobox transcription factors specify segment identity along the head-to-tail axis, their colinearity and regulation, and their roles in limb, organ, and nervous system development. Readers will find evo-devo perspectives comparing Hox function across species (from fruit flies to mice and humans), historical accounts of the foundational genetics that revealed homeotic mutations, and clinical angles linking Hox misregulation to congenital malformations and cancer. Method-focused works may address genomics, enhancer mapping, single-cell and imaging approaches, and genome editing (e.g., CRISPR) to probe Hox networks. Overall, this category situates Hox genes as a unifying theme across developmental biology, evolution, genetics, and biomedicine.
