Alignment of echinoderm Hox11/13b+ homeodomains and flanking sequences. Identities to S. purpuratus are marked with dots. Potentially diagnostic residues within the homeodomain are highlighted in grey. Flanking sequences (N- and C-peptides) are separated from the homeodomain by a space. The misidentified “Hox11/13c” sequence from ref. [30] is boxed. Species abbreviations: Anja = Anneissia japonica, Mero = Metacrinus rotundus, Opsp = Ophiothrix spiculata, Pami = Patiria miniata, Papa = Parastichopus parvimensis, Peja = Peronella japonica, Stpu = Strongylocentrotus purpuratus
