Two of those eyes may have evolved into a part of the brain called the pineal gland

Analysis of the 3D chromatin architecture and cis-regulatory elements in a sea urchin and a sea star reveals mechanisms of 3D chromatin organization in echinoderms and the long-term evolutionary dynam...

Sponges have a cryptic Ediacaran history because ancestral sponges were soft-bodied and had low fossilization potential.

Animal morphology is dependent on where, when and which genes are turned on in the body and to what extent. In order to find out how species build their distinct body plans one needs to look genome an...
