Transcriptome profiling of the demosponge <it>Amphimedon queenslandica</it> reveals genome-wide events that accompany major life cycle transitions
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The biphasic life cycle with pelagic larva and benthic adult stages is widely observed in the animal kingdom, including the Porifera (sponges), which are the earliest branching metazoans. The demosponge, <it>Amphimedon queensla...
