Sorry if I misled these HOX genes are not in the 'junk' regions. I did say this

The cells all arrange themselves according to simple rules encoded in the 'junk' DNA and DNA sequences called Homeoboxes.


Most people in the field think there is more to it than just HOX genes. Some of the 'junk' DNA if removed stops some development.
