Spatial and temporal patterns of gene expression during neurogenesis in the sea urchin Lytechinus variegatus

Abstract Background The sea urchin is a basal deuterostome that is more closely related to vertebrates than many organisms traditionally used to study neurogenesis. This phylogenetic position means that the sea urchin can provide insights into the evolution of the nervous system by helping resolve w...
