How larvae and life cycles evolve

Marine larvae have factored heavily in pursuits to understand the origin and evolution of animal life cycles. Recent comparisons of gene expression and chromatin state in different species of sea urchin and annelid show how evolutionary changes in embryonic gene regulation can lead to markedly diffe...

Description
Summary:Marine larvae have factored heavily in pursuits to understand the origin and evolution of animal life cycles. Recent comparisons of gene expression and chromatin state in different species of sea urchin and annelid show how evolutionary changes in embryonic gene regulation can lead to markedly different larval forms.
