Brain regionalization genes are co-opted into shell field patterning in Mollusca
Abstract The ‘brain regionalization genes’ Six3/6, Otx, Pax2/5/8, Gbx, and Hox1 are expressed in a similar fashion in the deuterostome, ecdysozoan, and the cephalopod brain, questioning whether this holds also true for the remaining Mollusca. We investigated developmental Gbx-expression in represent...
