Co-Option and De Novo Gene Evolution Underlie Molluscan Shell Diversity.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Apr 2017

Aguilera Felipe, McDougall Carmel, Degnan Bernard M

Abstract excerpt

Molluscs fabricate shells of incredible diversity and complexity by localized secretions from the dorsal epithelium of the mantle. Although distantly related molluscs express remarkably different secreted gene products, it remains unclear if the evolution of shell structure and pattern is underpinned by the differential co-option of conserved genes or the integration of lineage-specific genes into the mantle...
