From: Composition and genomic organization of arthropod Hox clusters
Comparison of the relative sizes of the coding, intronic, and untranslated regions of arthropod and vertebrate Hox genes. The relative sizes of amino acid coding sequence (CDS), introns, and total and 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions (UTRs) are shown for twelve arthropods surveyed and the vertebrate Mus musculus. Individual Hox genes are represented as a stack, in their respective genomic location of the Hox cluster, and labeled by color. The overall coding sequence length among arthropods ranges from 7.1 kb in Ixodes to 18.1 kb in Daphnia. The overall intron length among arthropods ranges from 14.5 kb in Ixodes to 624.6 kb in Bombyx. The overall UTR length among arthropods ranges from 2.3 kb in Anopheles to 30.5 kb in Drosophila. Asterisks indicate missing or incomplete data
