(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 .].
Hox genes are highly conserved across most animal species and are DNA sequences that specify the anterior-posterior axis and segment identity of organisms as they develop. Hox is an abbreviation of homeobox, the name given to the region of DNA of 180 base pairs that codes for a protein domain called homeodomin.
