Developmental expression of “germline”- and “sex determination”-related genes in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi
Reitzel, Adam M; Pang, Kevin; Martindale, Mark Q (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-02)Background: An essential developmental pathway in sexually reproducing animals is the specification of germ cells and the differentiation of mature gametes, sperm and oocytes. The “germline” genes vasa, nanos ... -
Expression of multiple Sox genes through embryonic development in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi is spatially restricted to zones of cell proliferation
Schnitzler, Christine E.; Simmons, David K.; Pang, Kevin; Martindale, Mark Q.; Baxevanis, Andreas D. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-04-24)Background: The Sox genes, a family of transcription factors characterized by the presence of a high mobility group (HMG) box domain, are among the central groups of developmental regulators in the animal kingdom. They are ... -
Lim homeobox genes in the Ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi: the evolution of neural cell type specification
Simmons, David K.; Pang, Kevin; Martindale, Mark Q. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-01-13)Background: Nervous systems are thought to be important to the evolutionary success and diversification of metazoans, yet little is known about the origin of simple nervous systems at the base of the animal tree. Recent ...
