A chelicerate Wnt gene expression atlas: novel insights into the complexity of arthropod Wnt-patterning

Abstract The Wnt genes represent a large family of secreted glycoprotein ligands that date back to early animal evolution. Multiple duplication events generated a set of 13 Wnt families of which 12 are preserved in protostomes. Embryonic Wnt expression patterns (Wnt-patterning) are complex, represen...
