Molecular basis of pigment structural diversity in echinoderms

Summary: The varied pigments found in animals play both ecological and physiological roles. Virtually all echinoderms contain putative pigment biosynthetic enzymes, the polyketide synthases (PKSs). Among these, crinoids have complex pigments found both today and in ancient fossils. Here, we characte...
