How the cladoceran heterogonic life cycle evolved--insights from gamogenetic reproduction and direct development in Cyclestherida.

abstract：:Paxbeta is a novel gene family restricted to the bilaterian superphylum Lophotrochozoa. The Paxbeta paired domain is highly diverged from other bilaterian Pax genes, and we were unable to identify an unambiguous sister-group by phylogenetic sequence analysis. However, conservation of a paired domain intron suggests th...
