EXPRESSION OF THE PAIR-RULE GENE HOMOLOGS RUNT, PAX3/7, EVEN-SKIPPED-1 AND EVEN-SKIPPED-2 DURING LARVAL AND JUVENILE DEVELOPMENT OF THE POLYCHAETE ANNELID CAPITELLA TELETA DOES NOT SUPPORT A ROLE IN SEGMENTATION

Expression of the pair-rule gene homologs runt, Pax3/7, even-skipped-1 and even-skipped-2 during larval and juvenile development of the polychaete annelid Capitella teleta does not support a role in segmentation

Abstract Background Annelids and arthropods each possess a segmented body.Whether this similarity represents an evolutionary convergence or inheritance from a common segmented ancestor is the subject of ongoing investigation.Methods To investigate whether annelids and arthropods share molecular components that control segmentation, we isolated orth
