The skeletal proteome of the sea star Patiria miniata and evolution of biomineralization in echinoderms

Abstract Background Proteomic studies of skeletal proteins have revealed large, complex mixtures of proteins occluded within the mineral. Many skeletal proteomes contain rapidly evolving proteins with repetitive domains, further complicating our understanding. In echinoderms, proteomic analysis of t...
