Ciliary photoreceptors in sea urchin larvae indicate pan-deuterostome cell type conservation

Abstract Background The evolutionary history of cell types provides insights into how morphological and functional complexity arose during animal evolution. Photoreceptor cell types are particularly broadly distributed throughout Bilateria; however, their evolutionary relationship is so far unresolv...
