It is clear that this process is very complex and multi-staged; non-coding RNAs are involved in it. To a complete understanding of all these processes in different animals, science is still very far away. When the basic mechanisms of gene regulation during early ontogenesis are deciphered, biologists will be able to address fundamental questions. A modified phylogenetic tree allows us to map where organisms may have originated based on HOX similarities. A heat graph showing HOX gene interactions will let us see the expression of unique HOX genes. By doing this analysis, we can know more about HOXC genes and how they manifest in the animal kingdom. Such techniques with animals can lead to answering important questions on the evolution of various animals.
