Evolutionary crossroads in developmental biology: the tunicates.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Jun 2011

Lemaire Patrick

Abstract excerpt

The tunicates, or urochordates, constitute a large group of marine animals whose recent common ancestry with vertebrates is reflected in the tadpole-like larvae of most tunicates. Their diversity and key phylogenetic position are enhanced, from a research viewpoint, by anatomically simple and transparent embryos, compact rapidly evolving genomes, and the availability of powerful experimental and computational...
