Systematic comparison of sea urchin and sea star developmental gene regulatory networks explains how novelty is incorporated in early development
It is unclear how a gene regulatory network (GRN) incorporates novelty whilst still maintaining overall stability. Here, the authors provide a comprehensive GRN for endomesoderm specification in the sea star from zygote stage to gastrulation, showing conserved network kernels stabilize evolutionary...
