Funded Activity Summary
Heads or tails - which did echinoderms lose in the evolution of radial symmetry? Echinoderms, despite their unusual radial body plan, are closely related to chordates, but it is not known how this plan evolved. This project uses gene expression studies with uniquely suited Australian species to identify genes involved in radial body plan development and generate insights into origins of chordates and the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS).Funded Activity Details
