HomeoDB2: functional expansion of a comparative homeobox gene database for evolutionary developmental biology.

abstract：:The structural diversity of gastropod veliger larvae offers an instructive counterpoint to the view of larval forms as conservative archetypes. Larval structure, function, and development are fine-tuned for survival in the plankton. Accordingly, the study of larval adaptation provides an important perspective for evol...
