Developmental system drift in dorsoventral patterning is linked to transitions to autonomous development in Annelida

Allan M. Carrillo‐Baltodano, Emmanuel Haillot, Steffanie M. Meha…·José María Martín-Durán

The paper shows that BMP signaling is downstream of ERK1/2 in Spiralia and is involved in dorsoventral development, but this hierarchy is lost in annelids with autonomous development.

Long-Read Sequencing Reveals Increased Isoform Diversity in Key Transcription Factor Effectors of Intercellular Signalling at the Invertebrate-Vertebrate Transition

Nuria P. Torres‐Aguila, Marika Salonna, Sebastian M. Shimeld…·David E. K. Ferrier

The paper uses long-read sequencing to compare isoform diversity of key transcription factors in invertebrate and vertebrate species, finding increased diversity in vertebrates.
