The Hox complex is an example of a gene cluster created by tandem duplications. Recent findings suggest the Hox complex may be just part of a larger chromosomal assemblage of homeobox-containing genes that existed in the ancestor to all vertebrates.
Hox复合体是由串联重复产生的基因簇的一个例子。最近的研究结果表明，Hox复合体可能只是所有脊椎动物祖先中存在的一个更大的含同源异型框基因的染色体组合的一部分。
