Pitx controls amphioxus asymmetric morphogenesis by promoting left-side development and repressing right-side formation
Abstract Background Left-right (LR) asymmetry is an essential feature of bilateral animals. Studies in vertebrates show that LR asymmetry formation comprises three major steps: symmetry breaking, asymmetric gene expression, and LR morphogenesis. Although much progress has been made in the first two...
