Expression of the Lhx genes <it>apterous</it> and <it>lim1</it> in an errant polychaete: implications for bilaterian appendage evolution, neural development, and muscle diversification
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Arthropod and vertebrate appendages appear to have evolved via parallel co-option of a plesiomorphic gene regulatory network. Our previous work implies that annelids evolved unrelated appendage-forming mechanisms; we therefore found...
