Abstract

Hemichordates hold a key position in the animal tree of life that makes them a useful organism for genetic studies that compare the evolutionary mechanisms behind different metazoan life strategies. Gene expression analysis in developing hemichordates suggests that the last common ancestor (LCA) of deuterostomes might be more similar to the LCA of bilaterians than previously thought.

发育中的半脊柱动物的基因表达揭示了中脊椎动物的进化过程

半脊索动物在动物生命树中占据着重要位置，这使它们成为遗传研究比较不同类元动物生命策略背后的进化机制的有用生物。对发育中的半脊索动物进行的基因表达分析表明，去壳类动物的最后共同祖先（LCA）可能比以前认为的更类似于双脊类动物的最后共同祖先。

期刊介绍： Nature Ecology & Evolution is interested in the full spectrum of ecological and evolutionary biology, encompassing approaches at the molecular, organismal, population, community and ecosystem levels, as well as relevant parts of the social sciences. Nature Ecology & Evolution provides a place where all researchers and policymakers interested in all aspects of life's diversity can come together to learn about the most accomplished and significant advances in the field and to discuss topical issues. An online-only monthly journal, our broad scope ensures that the research published reaches the widest possible audience of scientists.
