Analysis of coelom development in the sea urchin Holopneustes purpurescens yielding a deuterostome body plan

An analysis of early coelom development in the echinoid Holopneustes purpurescens yields a deuterostome body plan that explains the disparity between the pentameral plan of echinoderms and the bilateral plans of chordates and hemichordates, the three major phyla of the monophyletic deuterostomes.
