No more than 14: the end of the amphioxus Hox cluster
... amphioxus cluster surprisingly showed the presence not only of 13 Hox genes, but a 14th Hox gene, AmphiHox14 [7]. The lack of a Hox14 gene in vertebrate Hox clusters and the faster rate of sequence divergence of the posterior class of Hox genes (so-called “posterior flexibility”) had made it difficu ...
