Human HOX Gene Cluster Data ​

This dataset represents the positions and clusters of various human HOX genes. HOX genes are a group of related genes that control the body plan of an embryo along the head-tail axis. The dataset includes genes from HOXA, HOXB, HOXC, and HOXD clusters.

Usage ​

python
from geneviewer import datasets

human_hox_genes = datasets.load("human_hox_genes")

Format ​

A pandas DataFrame with 39 rows and 6 columns:

  • symbol: HGNC symbols for the HOX genes. A character vector.
  • chromosome_name: Chromosome number where each gene is located. A numeric vector.
  • start: Start positions of the genes on the chromosome. A numeric vector.
  • end: End positions of the genes on the chromosome. A numeric vector.
  • strand: -1 for reverse and 1 for forward.
  • cluster: Cluster identification as a character vector, specifying the HOX gene cluster (HOXA, HOXB, HOXC, HOXD).
  • name: Simplified names for the HOX genes. A character vector.
