Also collected in the set for comparison were the previously-described Runx genes from D. melanogaster ( runt and lozenge [ 7 ] ), Caenorhabditis elegans ( run [ 8 ] ), sea urchin ( SpRunt [ 9 10 ] ), T. rubripes ( TrRunx2 [ 11 ] ), and mouse ( Runx1 , Runx2 , and Runx3 ; the three human RUNX genes, which have been extensively characterized previously, are highly similar to their mouse orthologues [ 12 13 ] and hence were not included in the collected set).
