Inter-embryo gene expression variability recapitulates the hourglass pattern of evo-devo

Abstract Background The evolution of embryological development has long been characterized by deep conservation. In animal development, the phylotypic stage in mid-embryogenesis is more conserved than either early or late stages among species within the same phylum. Hypotheses to explain this hourgl...
