Gene regulatory network that shaped the evolution of larval sensory organ in Cnidaria
E. Gilbert, J. Craggs, V. Modepalli
The paper investigates the evolutionary origin of the larval apical sensory organ in cnidarians by comparing transcriptomes across species, finding that the ciliary apical tuft evolved independently in different clades.
