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.
Format
A data frame 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.
