Activin/Nodal signaling mediates dorsal–ventral axis formation before third quartet formation in embryos of the annelid Chaetopterus pergamentaceus

Abstract Background The clade of protostome animals known as the Spiralia (e.g., mollusks, annelids, nemerteans and polyclad flatworms) shares a highly conserved program of early development.
