In molluscs, two homeobox genes, <i>engrailed</i> (<i>en</i>) and <i>distal-less</i> (<i>dlx</i>), are transcription factors that are expressed in correlation with shell development. They are expressed in the regions between shell-forming and non-shell-forming cells, likely defining the boundaries of shell-forming fields. Here we investigate the expression of two transcription factors in the brachiopod <i>Lingula anatina</i> We find that <i>en</i> is expressed in larval mantle lobes, whereas <i> ...[more]
