Relationships between genome size and the length of Hox gene clusters in vertebrates. To compare different lineages of vertebrate in the same data set, only the lengths of the indicated regions of the clusters are shown. The very low squared correlation coefficients (r 2) indicate that the respective sizes of Hox clusters are not correlated with genome size (see text for associated P-values).
