Abstract
TALE class genes are a group of developmentally conserved transcription factors found in animals. Here, we describe the identification and phylogenetic analysis of TALE class genes in amphipod crustaceans. We identified 241 putative TALE class genes from 56 amphipod crustacean species. Phylogenetic analysis of the genes revealed six subclasses. We provide a list of FASTA sequences of the genes identified. Results from this work may inform future evolutionary and comparative genomics studies on animal development.
