Seussian Genetics

Pharyngula: Exorcising flawed concepts of Hox function

Hox
Pax
Backs
Blocks

Pax in backs.
Hox in blocks.

Hox unlocks the rocks in ox.
Pax impacts what Hox unlocks.
Flocks of facts on Hox we lacks.

Flies with eyes come.
Flies with thighs come.
Flies with unwise thighs on eyes come.

Look, sir. Look, sir. Lots of facts, sir.
Let's do tricks with Pits and Pax, sir.
Let's do tricks with bits of BACs, sir.

First I'll coin a quick-quilled quote quip,
Then I'll try a tall-taled tongue-trip.

Evo-devo cracks that whip, sir.
Now I must relax my lips, sir.
