New genomic data and analyses challenge the traditional vision of animal epithelium evolution

Abstract Background The emergence of epithelia was the foundation of metazoan expansion. Epithelial tissues are a hallmark of metazoans deeply rooted in the evolution of their complex developmental morphogenesis processes. However, studies on the epithelial features of non-bilaterians are still spar...
