Gene expression and neuron subtype distribution in chordate dorsal ectoderms and ciliary bands of ambulacrarian larvae

Both chordate neural plate and ambulacrarian ciliary bands develop using a similar set of genes, suggesting these two organs are homologous. ...

Comparison of gene expression in stomodeum formation region between ambulacrarian and chordate larvae
