Conservation of peripheral nervous system formation mechanisms in divergent ascidian embryos

Conservation of peripheral nervous system formation mechanisms in divergent ascidian embryos

Ascidians with very similar embryos but highly divergent genomes are thought to have undergone extensive developmental system drift. We compared, in four species (Ciona and Phallusia for Phlebobranchia, Molgula and Halocynthia for Stolidobranchia), gene expression and gene regulation for a network o...
