Hox, ParaHox, and Wnt gene clusters in the P. fucata genome resemble those of other protostomes. The relative position and orientation of the genes are indicated. a Hox gene cluster. P. fucata Hox genes are located on 3 scaffolds. b ParaHox gene cluster. P. fucata ParaHox genes are aligned on a single scaffold. The gray box indicates a non-ParaHox gene. c Wnt gene cluster. P. fucata Wnt1, 6, 9, and 10 genes are found on a single scaffold and the gene order is the same as that of L. gigantea. Lengths of scaffolds, genes, and intergenic regions are not to scale.
