Primary source Derelle et al., 2007 abstract: "Taking advantage from the recent burst of sequence data from a wide variety of eukaryote taxa, [investigators] show here that HD (Homeodomain)-containing transcription factors were already existing and diversified (in at least two main classes) in the last common eukaryote ancestor." Primary source Clarke et al., 2013 abstract: "Here [investigators] present an analysis of a whole genome assembly of Acanthamoeba castellanii (Ac) the first representative from a solitary free-living amoebozoan." |

P.498 left column 3rd paragraph: "In fungi and single-cell organisms, the number tends to be small, usually less than a dozen (primary source Derelle et al. 2007), but in Acanthamoeba, the homeobox family has expanded to 25 (primary source Clarke et al. 2013)." |
