• Hox gene expression during development of the phoronid Phoronopsis harmeri 

      Gasiorowski, Ludwik; Hejnol, Andreas H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Background: Phoronida is a small group of marine worm-like suspension feeders, which together with brachiopods and bryozoans form the clade Lophophorata. Although their development is well studied on the morphological ...
    • Hox gene expression in postmetamorphic juveniles of the brachiopod Terebratalia transversa 

      Gasiorowski, Ludwik; Hejnol, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-08)
      Background: Hox genes encode a family of homeodomain containing transcription factors that are clustered together on chromosomes of many Bilateria. Some bilaterian lineages express these genes during embryogenesis in spatial ...
    • Molecular evidence for a single origin of ultrafiltration-based excretory organs 

      Gasiorowski, Ludwik; Andrikou, Carmen; Bump, Paul; Lowe, Christopher J.; Janssen, Ralf; Budd, Graham E.; Hejnol, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Excretion is an essential physiological process, carried out by all living organisms, regardless of their size or complexity.1, 2, 3 Both protostomes (e.g., flies and flatworms) and deuterostomes (e.g., humans and sea ...
