Deuterostomes are one major group of bilaterians composed by hemichordates and
echinoderms (collectively called Ambulacraria) and chordates. Comparative studies …

Biomineralization had apparently evolved independently in different phyla, using distinct
minerals, organic scaffolds, and gene regulatory networks (GRNs). However, diverse …

Groups of orthologous genes are commonly found together on the same chromosome over
vast evolutionary distances. This extensive physical gene linkage, known as macrosynteny …

Species within nearly all extant animal lineages are capable of regenerating body parts.
However, it remains unclear whether the gene expression programme controlling …

This comprehensive review presents a comparative analysis of early embryogenesis in
