(CNN)Wendy Williams is not the woman she used to be -- and she's not going back. The talk show host has shed 50 lbs and recently told E! that she's keeping the weight off. I did it on my own and I love it because I no longer have to do that fight with clothing, Williams said.
Hox gene. n. Any of a group of homeobox genes that exist as clusters in animals, especially in vertebrates, and determine the identity and locations of body parts along the anterior-posterior body axis in a developing fetus or larva. [From h(omeob)ox .].
Although Hox genes contain and are originally named because of the homeobox sequence, not all homeobox-containing genes are Hox genes (other examples include the POU genes and CDX genes). The homeobox encodes for a protein sequence called the homeodomain, which is a DNA-binding domain.
