Pax3/7 duplicated and diverged independently in amphioxus, the basal chordate lineage

Abstract The Pax3/7 transcription factor family is integral to developmental gene networks contributing to important innovations in vertebrate evolution, including the neural crest. The basal chordate lineage of amphioxus is ideally placed to understand the dynamics of the gene regulatory network ev...
