<it>atonal</it>- and <it>achaete-scute</it>-related genes in the annelid <it>Platynereis dumerilii</it>: insights into the evolution of neural basic-Helix-Loop-Helix genes
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Functional studies in model organisms, such as vertebrates and <it>Drosophila</it>, have shown that basic Helix-loop-Helix (bHLH) proteins have important roles in different steps of neurogenesis, from the acquisition of n...
