Experimental Approach Reveals the Role of alx1 in the Evolution of the Echinoderm Larval Skeleton.

Over the course of evolution, the acquisition of novel structures has ultimately led to wide variation in morphology among extant multicellular organisms. Thus, the origins of genetic systems for new morphological structures are a subject of great interest in evolutionary biology. The larval skeleto...
