The rewiring of a terminal selector regulatory cascade generates convergent neuronal laterality

Dylan L Castro, Ivan Dimov, Marisa Mackie, Heather R Carstensen, Mary T. Barsegyan, Ray L. Hong

The paper identifies miRNA-mediated regulatory mechanisms that generate left-right neuronal asymmetry in Pristionchus pacificus by rewiring terminal-selector networks.
