Co-option of the limb patterning program in cephalopod eye development

Co-option of the limb patterning program in cephalopod eye development

Abstract Background Across the Metazoa, similar genetic programs are found in the development of analogous, independently evolved, morphological features. The functional significance of this reuse and the underlying mechanisms of co-option remain unclear. Cephalopods have evolved a highly acute visu...
