Note to: Hox gene cluster of the ascidian, Halocynthia roretzi, reveals multiple ancient steps of cluster disintegration during ascidian evolution.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In the previous paper published in 2017, we described the structure of Hox gene cluster of the ascidian, Halocynthia roretzi, and discussed the scenario for the disintegration of Hox gene clusters during evolution of ascidians. The description about the Hox gene cluster structure still represents the latest information, hence it has been left unchanged. In contrast, some points in Discussion, the description on the phylogenetic relationships among tunicates and the theoretical scenario for the disintegration of Hox gene cluster during evolution of ascidians, should be changed because the phylogenetic relationships among tunicates have recently been updated. The above mentioned points were made in accordance with the phylogenetic tree for tunicates based on the mit
