...Jian Ming Khor; Charles A. Ettensohn ABSTRACT Sea urchins and other echinoderms are important experimental models for studying developmental processes. The lack of approaches for conditional gene perturbation, however, has made it challenging to investigate the late developmental functions of genes...

... might also provide the key towards understanding the evolutionary history of echinoderms. Our data suggest that the functions of alx1, tbr, ets1 and gcm had been established before the diversification of echinoids, because the roles of these genes are quite similar between P. baculosa and euechinoids...

...David R. McClay Embryos of the echinoderms, especially those of sea urchins and sea stars, have been studied as model organisms for over 100 years. The simplicity of their early development, and the ease of experimentally perturbing this development, provides an excellent platform for mechanistic...
