Cartilage diversification and modularity drove the evolution of the ancestral vertebrate head skeleton
Abstract The vertebrate head skeleton has evolved a myriad of forms since their divergence from invertebrate chordates. The connection between novel gene expression and cell types is therefore of importance in this process. The transformation of the jawed vertebrate (gnathostome) head skeleton from...
