Hox and Wnt pattern the primary body axis of an anthozoan cnidarian before gastrulation
Hox genes regulate anterior–posterior axis formation but their role in cnidarians is unclear. Here, the authors disrupt Hox genes NvAx1 and NvAx6 in the starlet sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis, showing antagonist function in patterning the oral–aboral axis and a link to Wnt signaling.
