Gene networks and developmental context: the importance of understanding complex gene expression patterns in evolution.

abstract：:Here we document the early gamogenetic development of Cyclestherida, including a characterization of the nervous system. Resting eggs in Cyclestheria are protected by an ephippium, built by the major part of the carapace. The first stages of development are enclosed in an outer chorion and an inner vitelline membrane....

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...
